Details on study design:
2 RANGE FINDING TESTS:
3 males, 3 females: each animal is exposed to 4 different concentrations of the test material (1%, 10%, 25%, 100%): 80% ethanol as the vehicle.
1 male, 1 female: each animal is exposed to 4 different concentrations of the test material (50%, 60%, 70%, 80%): 80% ethanol as the vehicle
primary challenge responses were graded
Highest non-irritatting concentration = concentration in vehicle that induced responses not exceeding 2 "+" and 2 "0" grades in the group of 4 animals.
the dose chosen for induction: 70%,
the dose chosen for challenge: 40%


MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 4 (3 inductions, 1challenge)
- Exposure period: -
- Test groups: test substance in vehicle (80% ethanol)
- Control group: vehicle only
- Site: L shoulder (first induction); R shoulder (second and third induction)
- Frequency of applications: once a week
- Duration: 6 h
- Concentrations: 70% (first induction); 40% (second and third induction)


B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 1
- Day(s) of challenge: day 29
- Exposure period: -
- Test groups: test substance in vehicle
- Control group: vehicle only
- Site: naive site on left flank
- Concentrations: 40%
- Evaluation (hr after challenge): 24 and 48h


OTHER:
24h after challenge, all animals were depilated with Neet Cream Hair Remover (Whitehall Laboratories, Inc., New York). A minimum of 2h after depilation test sites were graded. The grading was repeated 24h later (48h grade).
Challenge controls:
Four naive animals (2 males, 2 females) were induced with the test material (40% concentration) on challenge day in the same manner as the test group and control groups.
Positive control substance(s):
yes
Remarks:
1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene
Positive control results:
Sensitising effects were observed in all six animals of the positive control group.

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no adverse effect observed (not sensitising)
Additional information:

Only one GLP study conducted in accordance with OECD guideline 406 is available. The study examined the skin sensitising effect on guinea pigs, using 20 animals in total. Positive, solvent and negative controls were included in the study. Animals were induced 3 times with either 70% (1st induction), or 40% (2nd and 3rd induction) the test substance. A challenge was performed using a 40% solution. At both 24 and 48 hours after the challenge none of the animals expressed positive reactions. Furthermore all controls showed expected results, resulting in a valid assay. Based on this study it was concluded that the substance did not cause delayed contact hypersensitivity in guinea pigs and is therefore considered not sensitizing.

An in vitro or in chemico skin sensitisation study does not need to be conducted because adequate data from an in vivo skin sensitisation study (initiated before October 11th 2016) is available.

Respiratory sensitisation

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no study available

Justification for classification or non-classification

- Based on the available information and the criteria of the CLP Regulation, the substance does not need to be classified as a skin sensitizing substance.

- No data are reliable available on respiratory sensitization. Therefore, no conclusion can be made on the classification for this endpoint.
