MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
The intradermal induction of sensitization in the test group was performed in the nuchal region with a 5% dilution of the test item in PEG 300 and in an emulsion of Freund's Complete Adjuvant (FCA)/physiological saline. The epidermal induction of sensitization was conducted for 48 hours under occlusion with the undliuted test item one week after the intradermal inductin. The animals of the control group were intradermally induced with PEG 300 and FCA/physiological saline and epidermally induced with PEG 300 under occlusion.

B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
Two weeks after epidermal induction, the control and test animals were challenged by epidermal application of the test item in 5% PEF 300 and PEG 300 alone under occlusive dressing. Cutaneous reactions were evaluated at 24 and 48 hours after removal of the dressing.
Challenge controls:
no
Positive control substance(s):
yes
Remarks:
Alpha-hexylcinnamaldehyde, 0.1% in PEG 300
Positive control results:
All test animals (at the 24-hour reading) and 6 out of 10 animals (at the 48-hour reading) showed discrete/patcht eryhema after the challenge treatment with alpha-hexylcinnamaldehyde, at 0.1% in PEG 300.

Interpretation of results:

Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Based on the above mentioned findings in the adjuvant sensitisation test (M & K ) in guinea pigs, the test substance does not have to classified as a skin sensitiser.
Executive summary:

The Maximization test was perfomed in male guinea pigs (5 in control group, 10 in test group) to to assess the cutaneous allergenic potential of the test substance. The intradermal induction of sensitization in the test group was performed in the nuchal region with a 5% dilution of the test item in PEG 300 and in an emulsion of Freund's Complete Adjuvant (FCA)/physiological saline. The epidermal induction of sensitization was conducted for 48 hours under occlusion with the undliuted test item one week after the intradermal inductin. The animals of the control group were intradermally induced with PEG 300 and FCA/physiological saline and epidermally induced with PEG 300 under occlusion.

Two weeks after epidermal induction, the control and test animals were challenged by epidermal application of the test item in 5% PEF 300 and PEG 300 alone under occlusive dressing. Cutaneous reactions were evaluated at 24 and 48 hours after removal of the dressing.

The results of the study are as follows: no deaths occurred and no toxic symptoms were evident in the guinea pigs of the control and the test group. None of the control and test animals showed skin reactions after the challenge treatment with the test item at 5% in PEG 300.

Endpoint conclusion:

Skin sensitisation study (read-across):

The Maximization test was performed in male guinea pigs (5 in control group, 10 in test group) to assess the cutaneous allergenic potential of the test substance. The intradermal induction of sensitization in the test group was performed in the nuchal region with a 5% dilution of the test item in PEG 300 and in an emulsion of Freund's Complete Adjuvant (FCA)/physiological saline. The epidermal induction of sensitization was conducted for 48 hours under occlusion with the undiluted test item one week after the intradermal induction. The animals of the control group were intradermally induced with PEG 300 and FCA/physiological saline and epidermally induced with PEG 300 under occlusion.

Two weeks after epidermal induction, the control and test animals were challenged by epidermal application of the test item in 5% PEF 300 and PEG 300 alone under occlusive dressing. Cutaneous reactions were evaluated at 24 and 48 hours after removal of the dressing.

The results of the study are as follows: no deaths occurred and no toxic symptoms were evident in the guinea pigs of the control and the test group. None of the control and test animals showed skin reactions after the challenge treatment with the test item at 5% in PEG 300.

Based on this GMPT test, the test substance was not considered to be a skin sensitizer.


Migrated from Short description of key information:
A GPMT is available on an analoguous substance of 2,2-bis(hydroxymethyl)-1,3-propanediol, ethoxylated and propoxylated, esters with acrylic acid.
The substance gave a negative result in this test, indicative of the absence of skin sensitization properties.

Justification for selection of skin sensitisation endpoint:
Only one study is available to evaluate the potential of skin sensitization of 2,2-bis(hydroxymethyl)-1,3-propanediol, ethoxylated and propoxylated, esters with acrylic acid (a read-cross is proposed with a analoguous substance).

Justification for classification or non-classification

No skin sensitization potential was showed in the GMPT performed on an analoguous substance of 2,2-bis(hydroxymethyl)-1,3-propanediol, ethoxylated and propoxylated, esters with acrylic acid. Therefore no classification is expected for the skin sensitization endpoint.
