Materials and methods

Principles of method if other than guideline:
The sensitisation potential of a test material, HR 90/000102 (= L-menthol), was investigated by means of the Buehler Test for sensitisation in guinea pigs.
Following dose ranging a concentration of 25% w/v in ethanol:DEP was selected for induction and challenge.
GLP compliance:
yes
Type of study:
Buehler test
Justification for non-LLNA method:
The study was conducted in 1991. At this time an OECD guideline for a LLNA was not available.

Any other information on results incl. tables

Induction

No irritation was noted in any of the test group animals in Weeks 1, 2 or 3 of induction.

No irritation was noted in the control group animals at any time during induction.

Challenge

No positive responses were noted in any of the animals in the test group or the control group after challenge

with HR 90/000102 at a concentration of 25% w/v in ethanol :DEP.

There were no reactions to challenge with the vehicle in the test or control groups.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Executive summary:

The sensitisation potential of a test material, HR 90/000102 (L-menthol), was investigated by means of the Buehler Test for sensitisation in guinea pigs.

Following dose ranging a concentration of 25% w/v in ethanol:DEP was selected for induction and challenge.

At challenge, none of the test and control group animals treated with HR 90/000102 at a concentration of 25% w/v in ethanol:DEP showed a positive response.

There is no evidence from the test results that HR 90/000102 (L-menthol) is a sensitiser in guinea pigs.
