2%, 5%, 10%, 20%, the highest concentration being the maximum concentration that clould technical be injected.
Epidermal application

Interpretation of results:
not sensitising
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
There was no evidence that HOSTAGEL HT 300 had caused skin hypersensitivity in the guinea pig, since no responses were observed in the experimental animals in response to a 50% test item concentration in the challenge phase. This result indicates a sensitization rate of 0 per cent.
Executive summary:

In order to assess the potential of the test item to induce skin sensitization a Magnusson & Kligman maximization study in guinea pigs according to OECD 406 guideline was performed.

Test item concentrations selected for the main study were based on the results of a preliminary study. In the main study, ten experimental animals were intradermally injected with a 5% concentration and epidermally exposed to a 50% concentration. Five control animals were similarly treated, but with vehicle alone (corn oil). Approximately 24 hours before the epidermal induction exposure all animals were treated with 10% SDS. Two weeks after the epidermal application all animals were epidermally challenged with a 50% test item concentration and the vehicle. No skin reactions were evident after the challenge exposure in the experimental and control animals.

There was no evidence that HOSTAGEL HT 300 had caused skin hypersensitivity in the guinea pig, since no responses were observed in the experimental animals in response to a 50% test item concentration in the challenge phase. This result indicates a sensitization rate of 0 per cent.

Migrated from Short description of key information:
The Maximization test was selected since the test item is a surfactant and the Local Lymph Node Assay as preferred alternative has shown to provide false positive results for surfactants.

Justification for selection of skin sensitisation endpoint:
Well documented GLP compliant study report. The Maximization test was selected since the test item is a surfactant and the Local Lymph Node Assay as preferred alternative has shown to provide false positive results for surfactants.

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no study available

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the available data no classification for skin sensitization is warranted according to the criteria laid down in the EU Dangerous Substances Directive (67/548/EEC) and in the EU Classification Labelling and Packaging Regulation (1272/2008/EC).
