Endpoint summary
Administrative data
Description of key information
There were no studies located for C14-C20 aliphatic, 2-30% aromatic hydrocarbons fluids. Using read-across data from straight run kerosene, C14-C20 aliphatic, 2-30% aromatic hydrocarbons fluids were determined not to be skin sensitizers using Magnusson and Kligman Guinea-Pig Maximization tests (OECD TG 406).
C14-C20 aliphatic, 2-30% aromatic hydrocarbons fluids are not expected to be a respiratory sensitizing agent.

- No. of animals per dose:

- Details on study design:
- 0.4 ml undiluted test material was applied under an occlusive dressing to the shaved skin of 10 animals. Six hours after application, the dressing was removed and the skin wiped to remove residues of test material. The animals received one application each week for 3 weeks. The same skin site was used for the first two applications but due to the severe irritation that had occurred in the test and positive control groups a different site was used for the third sensitizing application. 2 weeks following the third application a challenge dose (0.4 ml of a 1% solution in paraffin oil) was applied in the same manner as the sensitizing doses. A previously untreated site was used for the challenge application. The application sites for sensitizing and challenge doses were scored for erythema and edema 24 and 48 hours after patch removal. To assist in the scoring of the response to the final challenge dose the test site was depilated 3 hours prior to examination by using a commercially available depilatory cream. Positive control (2,4-dinitrochlorobenzene), vehicle control and naive control groups were included in this study. Concentrations of positive control were as follows: Sensitizing doses: 0.4 ml of 0.3% w/v in 80% aqueous ethanol Challenge dose: 0.4 ml of 0.1% w/v suspension in acetone.
- Positive control substance(s):

- Conclusions:
- Classification as a dermal sensitizer is not warranted under the new Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 on classification, labeling and packaging of substances and mixtures (CLP) or under Directive 67/518/EEC for dangerous substances and Directive 1999/45/EC for preparations.

Referenceopen allclose all
The skin reactions after challenge applications were:
Test group - No dermal irritation in any animal;
Naive control group - Very slight erythema in two animals, no reaction in the other eight animals;
Vehicle control group - A very slight erythema in one animal, no reaction in the other nine animals;
Positive control group - Very slight to severe irritation in all 20 animals. The reaction in 19 animals exceeded the highest reaction observed in the naive positive control animals;
Naive positive control group - 5 of 20 animals exhibited very slight erythema, the other 15 animals had no skin reaction.
Endpoint conclusion
- Endpoint conclusion:
- no adverse effect observed (not sensitising)
- Additional information:
Skin sensitization studies performed according to Magnusson and Kligman Guinea-Pig Maximization tests (OECD TG 406) found no indication of skin sensitization in guinea pigs for straight run kerosene. Using this data as read across, C14-C20 aliphatic, 2-30% aromatic hydrocarbons fluids were determined not to be skin sensitizers using Magnusson and Kligman Guinea-Pig Maximization tests (OECD TG 406).
Respiratory sensitisation
Endpoint conclusion
- Additional information:
There are no reports of respiratory sensitization from C14-C20 aliphatic, 2-30% aromatic hydrocarbons fluids in laboratory animals or humans. However, C14-C20 aliphatic, 2-30% aromatic hydrocarbons fluids were determined not to be skin sensitizers using Magnusson and Kligman Guinea-Pig Maximization tests (OECD TG 406). It is presumed that C14-C20 aliphatic, 2-30% aromatic hydrocarbons fluids will not be a respiratory sensitizing agent.
Justification for classification or non-classification
These findings do not warrant the classification of C14-C20 aliphatic, 2-30% aromatic hydrocarbons fluids as a skin or respiratory sensitizer under the new Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 on classification, labeling and packaging of substances and mixtures (CLP) or under the Directive 67/518/EEC for dangerous substances and Directive 1999/45/EC for preparations.
