Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
equivalent or similar to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 406 (Skin Sensitisation)
GLP compliance:
not specified
Type of study:
guinea pig maximisation test
Justification for non-LLNA method:
Currently no LLNA study is available for assessment. The Guinea Pig Maximization Test (GPMT) has been carried out as an animal test to predict human sensitization for over a decade and is recommended by international test guidelines such as OECD.

In vivo test system

Test animals

Species:
guinea pig
Strain:
not specified
Sex:
not specified

Study design: in vivo (non-LLNA)

Induction
Route:
intradermal and epicutaneous
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Challenge
Route:
intradermal and epicutaneous
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Day(s)/duration:
24 h
Details on study design:
Induction was by intradermal injection of the test substance, followed after 7 days by an epicutaneous application.
After a 14 day rest period epicutaneous challenge doses were applied for 24 h and the site inspected for signs of irritation at 24 and 48 h after removal of the challenge patch.
