Type of information:
experimental study

key study

2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: GLP - guideline study with acceptable restrictions.

Details on study design:
RANGE FINDING TESTS:
yes, 10, 20, 30, 40, 70 and 100 % of the test substance (0.08 mL each) in olive oil were applied to the flank of three guinea pigs.
A 10% concentration was found to be the maximum non-irritating dose for challenge-treatment.

MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 3
- Exposure period: 6 hours
- Test groups: 10 animals, TS
- Control group: 10 vehicle controls.
- Site: left cranial flank
- Frequency of applications: weekly
- Duration: 3 weeks
- Concentrations: 30 % (minimum irritating dose level), 0.5 mL were applicated per plaster.

B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 1
- Day(s) of challenge: 14 days after the 3rd induction
- Exposure period: 6 hours
- Test groups: 10, TS
- Control group: 10, TS
- Site: bilateral caudal flank
- Concentrations: 10 % (maximum non irritating dose level)
- Evaluation (hr after challenge): 24 and 48 hours after exposure termination

OTHER: Dose-finding exposure:
5 animals of the control group were treated on the right flank with 5, 10 an 15% (0.5 mL) of the test substance for 6 hours and skin examination followed 24 and 48 hours after exposure termination.
Challenge controls:
Reliability check was performed in April 1991 (report TBD 910161)

Additional information:

1,2 Benzenedicarboxylic acid, di-C16-C18-alkyl esters (CAS No. 90193-76-3) was tested for its skin sensitisation potential according to OECD 406 (Pittermann, 1992). 10 guinea pigs were tested in a Buehler test. Concentrations for induction and challenge were defined in a preliminary experiment. Induction exposure was performed with the test substance at a concentration of 30 % in olive oil for epicutaneous application. Challenge treatment was performed by dermal application of the test substance at 10 % in olive oil. 24 and 48 hours after challenge exposure all skin examination scores in the test groups were zero. Based on this study results, 1,2 benzenedicarboxylic acid, di-C16-C18-alkyl esters exerted no skin-sensitising potential.


Migrated from Short description of key information:
The available skin sensitisation study showed that 1,2 benzenedicarboxylic acid, di-C16-C18-alkyl esters is not skin sensitising.

Justification for selection of skin sensitisation endpoint:
There is only one study available.

Respiratory sensitisation

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no study available

Justification for classification or non-classification

The available data on the skin sensitisation potential do not meet the classification criteria according to Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 or Directive 67/548/EEC, and are therefore conclusive but not sufficient for classification.

There are no data available on respiratory sensitisation.
