Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Under the study conditions, the substance did not show skin sensitization potential in guinea pigs.
Executive summary:

A study was conducted to determine the skin sensitisation potential of the substance according to a method similar to guinea pig maximisation test protocol. 23 animals were used for the study, i.e. 8 for the preliminary study, 10 for the sensitization group, and 5 for the control group. In the induction phase, animals received intradermal injections of (a) emulsion of Freund's Complete Adjuvant (FCA) and physiological saline at a ratio of 1:1, (b) 30% test substance solution (vehicle: liquid paraffin), and (c) emulsion of 60% test substance solution (vehicle: FCA) and physiological saline at a ratio of 1:1. On Day 8 of induction, undiluted test substance was applied under occlusive conditions into each of the treated sites for 48 h. Liquid paraffin was used in the control group in the same manner. The challenge was performed on Day 21 after induction by closed application for 24 h with the test substance at concentrations of 0, 5, 10, 30, 50 and 100%. The skin reactions were observed at 24 and 48 h after application and scores were evaluated. No skin reactions were observed at any of the time points at any concentration. Under the study conditions, the substance did not show skin sensitisation potential in guinea pigs (Hashiyada, 2004).
