Additional information:

A Buehler test was performed with 2-pentanone oxime (2-PO; CAS 623-40-5) under GLP and according to OECD Guideline 406 (Key, 2009). Based on the results of a dose range-finding study, ten male and 10 female guinea pigs of the Hartley strain were induced with test item (100%) moistened in corn oil for 6 h during topical induction. The animals were induced under occlusive conditions once per week for an induction period of three weeks in total. A similar constituted group of 10 animals remained untreated and served as control. The epicutaneous challenge exposure was conducted two weeks after the third induction. Test and control animals received a dermal exposure of test substance (25% in corn oil) for 6 h under occlusive conditions. Local skin reactions were evaluated 24 and 48 h after removal of the patches. There was only one animal of the test group showing skin reactions 24 h after removal of the patches for the challenge. However, no animal of the test group showed skin reactions 48h after the removal of the patches for the challenge. Negative and positive (85% hexylcinnamaldehyde) controls showed expected results, thus confirming the reliability and sensitivity of the test system. In summary, based on the available data the test substance is not considered as skin sensitiser.

A Local Lymph Node Assay was performed with 2-PO (CAS 623-40-5) under GLP according to OECD Guideline 429 (Supporting, 2009). Ear skins of 5 female CBA mice were treated with 2-PO at concentrations of 25, 50 and 100% diluted with acetone/olive oil (4:1 v/v). The SI values were 1.5, 1.1 and 1.3 for the test groups treated with 25%, 50% and 100%, respectively. Thus, based on the study result, the test substance is not a skin sensitiser.

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no study available

Justification for classification or non-classification

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