Type of study:
Buehler test
Justification for non-LLNA method:
The described guinea pig sensitisation test (Buehler test) according to OECD 406 was conducted in 1996 before the guidance for the LLNA (OECD429, first adopted in 2002) was available, and before the method was fully established and validated. And since the result of the Buehler test is considered to be scientifically valid, the test was not repeated also taking into account exposure and animal welfare considerations.

Details on study design:
The maximum non-irritant concentration was determined in a pre-test. Induction concentration (day 0): 100 % n-Lauryl chloride. Induction concentration (day 7 and 14): 50 % n-Lauryl chloride in corn oil. Challenge concentration, dermal: 25 % n-Lauryl chloride in corn oil. Applications: 6 hours occlusive.

Any other information on results incl. tables

0/20 test animals and 0/10 controls showed skin reactions 30 h or 54 h after the challenge application.
After the first dermal induction irritation was observed in 18 of 20 test animals (slight to moderate erythema and oedema). Therefore the concentration was lowered to 50% for the two following inductions. After the second induction slight skin reactions were
observed in 4 test animals. After the third induction 9 test animals showed clear Erythema, 4 Oedema.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
In a Buehler guinea pig test for skin sensitization no animal in the control and test groups showed any sign for skin sensitization. Thus, the available data on skin sensitization of lauryl chloride do not meet the criteria for classification according to Regulation (EC) 1272/2008, and are therefore conclusive but not sufficient for classification.
