Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- sensitising
- Remarks:
- Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
- Conclusions:
- Based upon the results obtained, the substance is considered a strong skin sensitizer in guinea pigs.
According to Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment Chapter R.8, Appendix R.8-10, the substance is allocated to the moderate potency category. - Executive summary:
This study was designed to evaluate the skin sensitization properties of the substance using the Maximization test. The study consisted of a treated group of 15 animals, and a naive control group, positive control group (Dinitrochlorobenzene) and vehicle group (0.9% saline) of four animals each. In the test substance group, 0.05 ml test substance was injected intradermally on each side of the midline across the shoulder region of guinea pigs for the first induction. After 7 days, they were secondly induced with a 50% w/w mixture of V-50 in petrolatum for 48 hours. After two weeks, the right flank was challenged with 25% w/w test substance for 24 hours. Vehicle and positive control group were treated similarly. As a result of the study, all surviving animals of the test substance group and all animals of the positive control group exhibited a sensitization reaction following the challenge application. None of the animals exhibited a reaction in the vehicle control group. According to the results, it is concluded that the substance has strong skin sensitization properties in guinea pigs. Classification: Skin Sens. Cat. 1, May cause an allergic reaction (H317).
