Any other information on results incl. tables

There were no deaths during the course of the study, hence no necropsies were performed.

No symptoms of systemic toxicity were observed in the animals.

No skin effect was observed in three weeks of induction.

No skin reactions vvere observed in the animals treated with the test item at 50 % in PEG 300.

1 animal nof the test group showed a loss of body weight (3.6 %) during the acclimatization period. It recovered between the treatment start and the end of the study. The body weight of the other animals was within the range commonly recorded for animals of this strain and age.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Based on the above mentioned findings in a non-adjuvant sensitization test in guinea pigs and in accordance to the CLP-Regulation, magnesium sodium fluoride silicate applied at a concentration of 50 % in PEG 300 does not have to be classified and Iabelled as a skin sensitizer.
Executive summary:

The purpose of this skin sensitizing study was to assess the possible allergenic potential of magnesium sodium fluoride silicate when administered topically to albino guinea pigs.

For this purpose the "Bühler Test" modified by Ritz, H.L. and BOhler, E.V. (1 980)" was used. Twenty male animals of the test group were treated topically with magnesium sodium fluoride silicat at 50 % in PEG 300 once a week for a 3 week induction phase. Two weeks after the final induction application the animals were challenged with the same test item concentration of 50 % in

PEG 300 as used for induction.

The ten animals of the control group were not treated during the induction. They were treated once at challenge with

magnesium sodium fluoride silicate at 50 % in PEG 300.

Based on the above mentioned findings in a non-adjuvant sensitization test in guinea pigs and in accordance to the CLP-Regulation, magnesium sodium fluoride silicate applied at a concentration of 50 % in P EG 300 does not have to be classified and labelled as a skin sensitizer.
