RANGE FINDING TESTS: On each animal, two concentrations of FAT 20037/C were applied simultaneously on the left and right flank. A naive skin site served as control (not reported). 7 days before application of FAT 20037/C two pairs of intradermal injections of an adjuvant/saline mixture 1:1 (v/v; 0.1 mL per injection) were made simultaneously into the shaved neck of the guinea pigs.

5 and 10 % of the animals of the test group showed skin reactions 24 and 48 hours after removing the dressings, respectively. However, according to the EU CLP criteria, FAT 20037/C did not show a skin - sensitising (contact allergenic) potential in albino guinea pigs.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

The test item was classified as a "non-sensitiser" to the skin.

Executive summary:

The skin sensitisation potential of the test item was evaluated in a study conducted according to OECD Guideline 406. The test was performed on 10 male and 10 female guinea pigs in the test group and 5 males and 5 females in the control group, The concentrations for the main study were chosen on the basis of a pre-study. Guine pigs were given intradermal injections (into the neck region) on the first week; followed by closed patch exposure over the injection sites one week later and challenge exposure in week 5. Concentrations used were: 5 % for intradermal induction, 50 % for epicutaneous induction and 30 % for epicutaneous challenge. Twenty four and forty eight hours after removing the dressings, the challenge reactions were graded according to the Draize scoring scale. Under the experimental conditions, 5 and 10 % of the animals of the test group showed skin reactions 24 and 48 hours respectively, after removing the dressings. Based on the EU CLP criteria, the test item can be classified as a "non-sensitiser" to the skin.
