Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

sensitising

Remarks:

Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU

Conclusions:

Under the UN Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) guidelines, as well as the OECD 429 test guidelines an EC3 ≥ 3 value is required to consider a substance as positive when testing using the LLNA method. Results from this study indicated that exposure to rosin, maleated resulted in an EC3 of 0.74%. Based on the results of this study, rosin, maleated is classifiable for skin sensitization according to UN Globally Harmonized System of Classification or EU Classification, Labelling and Packaging of Substances and Mixtures (CLP) Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.

Executive summary:

In a skin sensitization study using the Local Lymph Node Assay, groups of mice were given daily applications of 0%, 0.5%, 5%, or 50%(w/v) rosin, maleated in acetone/olive oil 4:1. The pooled Stimulation Index was 1.91, 22.84 and 19.27, respectively. Consequently, the EC3 was 0.74%. Based on the results,rosin, maleated was a skin sensitizer in mice in an OECD 429 compliant study.
