Description of key information

A Guinea Pig Maximization Test (GPMT) was performed on 30 female guinea pigs (20 animals for the test item group and 10 control animals) to determine whether the test item Mesamoll (content: 72.0 %) exhibits skin-sensitizing properties. The study was conducted according to OECD Guideline No. 406/EC Guideline 96/54/EC (22nd Adaptation of Guideline 67/548/EEC)/Health Effects Test Guideline, OPPTS 870.2600 with the following test item concentrations:
Intradermal induction: 5%
Topic induction: 12%
Challange: 3%.
The test item was formulated in polyethylene glycol 400 to yield a solution. The challenge using a 3% test item formulation led to no skin effects in the animals of the treatment group or of the control group. In summary, under the conditions of the maximization test and with respect to the evaluation criteria the test item exhibits no skin-sensitization potential (Vohr H.-W., Bayer AG, 2002).

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Executive summary:

The Guinea Pig Maximization Test (GPMT) was performed on 30 female guinea pigs (20 animals for the test item group and 10 control animals) to determine whether the test item Mesamoll (content: 72.0 area-%) exhibits skin-sensitizing properties.

The study was conducted according to OECD Guideline No. 406/EC Guideline 96/54/EC (22th Adaptation of Guideline 67/548/EEC)/Health Effects Test Guideline, OPPTS 870.2600 with the following test item concentrations:

Intradermal induction: 5%

Topic induction: 12%

Challange: 3%.

The test item was formulated in polyethylene glycol 400 to yield a solution.

The challange using a 3% test item formulation led to no skin effects in the animals of the treatment group or of the control group.

In summary, under the conditions of the maximization test and with respect to the evaluation criteria the test item exhibits no skin-sensitization potential.

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no adverse effect observed (not sensitising)
Additional information:
