- RANGE FINDING TESTS: 6 guinea pigs exposed to neat, 1:2, 1:4 and 1:8 v/v dilutions in mineral oil. 0.5 mL applied for 6 hours and irritation assessed using the Draize scoring system approximately 24 and 48 hours after treatment. No irritation was seen at the 24 hour reading. At the 48 hour reading erythema and oedema were present at the neat site, oedema was present at the 1:2 dilution site and no signs of irritation were seen at the 1:4 and 1:8 v/v dilution sites. Dilutions of 1:2 and 1:4 for the induction and challenge applications, respectively, were selected for use in the main study.

- Interpretation of results:

- Remarks:
- Migrated information
- Conclusions:
- E000144700 was not a delayed contact sensitiser.
- Executive summary:
The sensitization potential of E00014470 (CAS 68516-20-1) was investigated in male guinea pigs dermally exposed to a 1:2 v/v dilution of 0.5 mL E000144700 in mineral oil for each of 3 induction phases. Following challenge with a 1:4 dilution response grades, severity and incidence were not greater than those at the control group site. The positive control, DNCB, produced significantly higher responses than in the control group which were free of dermal lesions throughout the study period.
It is concluded that E000144700 (CAS 68516-20-1) is not a skin sensitiser and no classification is warranted under GHS/CLP.
Reference
One test animal died following the 3rdinduction. No visible lesions were seen when examined post mortem.
Response grades, severity and incidence following challenge with a 1:4 v/v dilution of E000144700 did not produce a higher response than that observed for the negative control group.
The vehicle control group animals were free of dermal lesions throughout the study period.
Endpoint conclusion
- Endpoint conclusion:
- no adverse effect observed (not sensitising)
- Additional information:
Non human data
CAS 68516-20-1 (E000144700) was not a sensitiser in albino guinea pigs dermally exposed to a 1:2 dilution of E000144700 at a volume of 0.5 mL for 3 induction phases and to a 1:4 v/v dilution (in mineral oil) for the challenge (UBTL, 1990e). The data available on marker constituents: benzene, toluene, cyclohexane, and xylene indicate that they are not skin sensitisers.
Human data
Human data identified was for benzene and xylene (Kligman, 1966). The details of the study are not further discussed in the dossier due to ethical reasons.

Migrated from Short description of key information:
High Benzene Naphtha streams are considered not to be skin or respiratory sensitisers. The marker constituents: benzene, toluene, cyclohexane, and xylene are considered not to be skin sensitisers.
Justification for selection of skin sensitisation endpoint:
Information available for representative streams and the marker constituents present indicate no potential to induce or elicit skin sensitisation.
Respiratory sensitisation
Endpoint conclusion
- Endpoint conclusion:
- no study available
- Additional information:
No specific animal or human data have been found with regard to respiratory sensitisation for any components within this stream.
Migrated from Short description of key information:
No data have been found concerning respiratory sensitisation and there are no indications that components within this stream are respiratory allergens.
Justification for classification or non-classification
There are sufficient data on CAS 68516-20-1 and on marker constituents to indicate that High Benzene Naphtha streams are not skin or respiratory sensitisers and no classification is warranted for these endpoints under Reg (EC) 1272/2008.
