Details on study design:
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.

MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 3
- Exposure period: 6 hours, once per week
- Test groups: 0.5 mL of a 1:2 v/v dilution of E000144700 in mineral oil
- Control group: 0.5 mL of mineral oil
- Site: shaved dorsal area
B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 1
- Day(s) of challenge: 14 days after last induction application
- Exposure period: 6 hours
- Test groups: 0.5 mL of a 1:4 v/v dilution of E000144700 in mineral oil
- Control group: 0.5 mL of a 1:4 v/v dilution of E000144700 in mineral oil
- Site: naive site on the shaved dorsal area
- Evaluation (hr after challenge): 24 and 48 hours
Challenge controls:
Unused naive guinea pigs were used to distinguish between "background" irritation and actual allergic response (4 guinea pigs for each group-test, vehicle control and positive control)
Positive control substance(s):
yes
Remarks:
dinitrochlorobenzene

Results and discussion

Positive control results:
Following induction (x3) with 0.3% DNCB, challenge with 0.2% DNCB resulted in significantly higher response than that observed in the naive challenge control group.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: Not sensitising
Conclusions:
Under the conditions of the study described, 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 Dir 67/548/EEC or GHS/CLP.
