key study
Study period:
1992

Justification for classification or non-classification

SKIN SENSITIZATION

Category 1

According CLP Regulation N. 1272/2008, a substances shall be classified as skin sensitisers (Category 1) where data are not sufficient for sub- categorisation (1A and 1B) in accordance with the following criteria:

(a) if there is evidence in humans that the substance can lead to sensitisation by skin contact in a substantial number of persons; or

(b) if there are positive results from an appropriate animal test ( according to 3.4.2.2.4.1).

At this point, when an adjuvant type guinea pig test method for skin sensitisation is used, a response of at least 30 % of the animals is considered as positive. For a non-adjuvant guinea pig test method a response of at least 15 % of the animals is considered positive.

Sub-category 1A

Substances showing a high frequency of occurrence in humans and/or a high potency in animals can be presumed to have the potential to produce significant sensitisation in humans. Severity of reaction may also be considered.

Specific criteria:

Local lymph node assay-EC3 value ≤ 2 %

Guinea pig maximisation test-≥ 30 % responding at ≤ 0,1 % intradermal induction dose or ≥ 60 % responding at > 0,1 % to ≤ 1 % intradermal induction dose

Buehler assay - ≥ 15 % responding at ≤ 0,2 % topical induction dose or ≥ 60 % responding at > 0,2 % to ≤ 20 % topical induction dose

Sub-category 1B

Substances showing a low to moderate frequency of occurrence in humans and/or a low to moderate potency in animals can be presumed to have the potential to produce sensitisation in humans. Severity of reaction may also be considered.

Local lymph node assay - EC3 value > 2 %

Guinea pig maximisation test- ≥ 30 % to < 60 % responding at > 0,1 % to ≤ 1 % intradermal induction dose or ≥ 30 % responding at > 1 % intradermal induction dose

Buehler assay - ≥ 15 % to < 60 % responding at > 0,2 % to ≤ 20 % topical induction dose or ≥ 15 % responding at > 20 % topical induction dose.

The tested substance has not to be classified as skin sensitiser because the highest positive reaction value of the test is 15 % responding at 5 % intradermal induction dose.
