Type of study:
guinea pig maximisation test
Justification for non-LLNA method:
The Murine Local Lymph Node Assay (LLNA) is the first-choice method for in vivo testing according to the REACH Regulation. However, this reliable GPMT test was performed before entry into force of the REACH Regulation.

Details on study design:
RANGE FINDING TESTS:
For the intradermal injections, 4 animals were injected with 0.1%, 0.5%, 1% or 5% test material and erythema was assessed 24, 48 and 72 hours and 7 days after injection. For the topical induction and challenge, 2 animals were treated with 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% test material under occlusion. The highest concentration without severe irritation after intradermal injection was used in the main test. The highest concentration producing mild-moderate irritation after topical induction was used in the main study. The highest non-irritating dose and one lower dose after topical challenge were used in the main test.

MAIN STUDY

Any other information on results incl. tables

After intradermal injection, erythema was noted at the exposure sites, mainly in the test group animals (well-defined after 24h and very slight to well-defined after 48h). After topical induction, all test group animals showed yellow-coloured staining and very slight to well-defined erythema. The control group animals did not show skin reactions. After topical challenge, all animals, including control group animals showed yellow-coloured staining. No other skin reactions were observed.

No adverse effects in body weight (gain) was observed when comparing test group animals and control group animals.
