Intradermal irritation potential of test articles was determined in 4 guinea pigs. These were exposed to 6 different concentrations intradermal (0.1%, 0.5%, 1.0%, 1.5%, 3.0% and 5.0%) and reactions were scored after 24 hours. Topical irritation potential was determined in 10 guinea pigs exposed to 12 different concentration (0.5%, 1.0%, 1.5%, 2.0%, 4.0%, 6.0%, 8.0%, 15%, 25%, 35% and 45% and reactions were scored 24 hours after removal.

Scoring system was used to calculate the sensitization rate. Additionally, Kligman’s classification scheme modified to reflect a treatment group of twenty animals was used for ranking the substances in order of their sensitization capacity (see table below). According to the percentage of animals sensitized, the substance was assigned to one or another of five classes, ranging from weak (grade I) to extreme (grade V), regardless of the intensity of the response.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- sensitising
- Remarks:
- Migrated information
- Conclusions:
- Under the conditions of this study, a postive skin response was observed in guinea pigs exposed to a challenge concentration of 2.0%. The sensitisation rate was calculated to be at least 45%, which exceeds the threshold value of 30% for classification. Therefore, the substance needs to be classified as sensitising based on the criteria outlined in Annex I of 1272/2008/EC and Annex VI of 67/548/EEC.
- Executive summary:
This guinea pig maximisation test (GPMT) was performed to determine the sensitising potential of Nutmeg Oil EI. In the test group (n=20, M:10, F:10), intradermal induction was performed with 1.0% test article, epicutaneous induction with 4.0% test article and the final challenge exposure was done with 2.0% test article. Negative (n=4) and positive (n=6) control groups were also included. Mortality and body weights were recorded.
No mortality and effect on body weight were reported. In the test group, 9 and 11 out of 20 guinea pigs (at 1st and 2nd reading, respectively) showed a positive skin reaction after challenge exposure to Nutmeg Oil EI. No positive skin reactions were noted in the negative control group. The results in the positive control group confirmed validity of the test (system), with 5 out of 6 animals showing positive skin reactions at the 1st and 2nd reading after challenge exposure (to 0.1% DNCB).
Under the conditions of this study, a postive skin response was observed in guinea pigs exposed to a challenge concentration of 2.0%. The sensitisation rate was calculated to be at least 45%, which exceeds the threshold value of 30% for classification. Therefore, the substance needs to be classified as sensitising based on the criteria outlined in Annex I of 1272/2008/EC and Annex VI of 67/548/EEC.
