- Site: upper right back
- Concentrations: undiluted
- Evaluation (hr after challenge): 24, 48, and 72 h after challenge

SCORING SYSTEM
0 - no visible reaction
1 - very slight erythema or edema
2 - slight erythema or edema
3 - moderate erythema or edema
4 - marked erythema or edema
Any animal showing a reaction of 2 or greater foer erythema and/or edema in the challenge phase is considered sensitized.
Positive control substance(s):
yes
Remarks:
1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene (0.1% in acetone)

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not sensitising
Remarks:
Migrated information
Conclusions:
The skin sensitisation potential of the test substance 1,1,2-trichloro-1,2,2-trifluoroethane was assessed using the in vivo Guinea Pig Maximisation Test. Results showed no effects after challenge with the test substance. No skin reactions were observed 1, 2, or 3 days after challenge except for a very slight erythema on one animal 24 h after challenge. Thus the test substance is not a skin sensitizer.

The skin sensitisation potential of the target chemical 1,1,1-trichloro-2,2,2-trifluoroethane is determined by read-across from the in vivo Guinea Pig Maximisation Test with the source chemical 1,1,2-trichloro-1,2,2-trifluoroethane. The analogue approach is justified in Section 13 (Assessment Reports_Read-Across, in attachment CAS_354-58-5_Read-Across.pdf). As a consequence 1,1,1-trichloro-2,2,2-trifluoroethane is not considered as a skin sensitiser.
