- RANGE FINDING TESTS: (Sighting test for intradermal induction) Four concentrations of the test material were investigated (1%, 5%, 10% and 25% w/v in arachis oil BP). Three guinea pigs were used. Each animal received four 0.1 ml injections of only one concentration of test material. (The 25% w/v formulation was not suitable for dosing). Observations at 24, 48, 72 hours and 7 days.
(Sighting test for topical induction) Two guinea pigs were treated at 50%, 25%, 10% and 5% w/w in arachis oil BP for 48 hours under occlusive dressings. Observations at 1, 24 and 48 hours.
(Sighting test for topical challenge) Two guinea pigs were treated at 50%, 25%, 10% and 5% w/w in arachis oil BP for 24 hours under occlusive dressings. Observations at 1, 24 and 48 hours.

Any other information on results incl. tables
Maximum concentration not causing irritating effects in preliminary test: 50 %.
Signs of irritation during induction:
Intradermal Induction:
Discrete or patchy to moderate and confluent erythema was noted at the intradermal induction sites of all test group animals at the 24-hour observation and in nine test group animals at the 48 hour observation.
Discrete or patchy erythema was noted at the intradermal induction sites of three control group animals at the 24-hour observation and in two control group animals at the 48-hour observation.
Topical Induction:
Discrete or patchy erythema was noted at the induction sites of these -test group animals at the 1-hour observation. No skin reactions were noted at the induction sites of test group animals at the 24-hour observation.
No signs of erythema or oedema were noted at the treatment sites of control group animals at the 1 and 24-hour observation.
Evidence of sensitisation of each challenge concentration: Number of animals showing evidence of sensitization at each challenge concentration: 0/10 (with 25 and 50% concentrations).
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- other: not classified
- Conclusions:
- The test material produced a 0% (0/10) sensitisation rate and was classified as a non-sensitiser to guinea pig skin. The test material does not meet the criteria for classification according to EU classification system (Council Directive 67/548/EEC and Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008).
- Executive summary:
A study was performed to assess the contact sensitisation potential of the test material in the albino guinea pig. The study was performed in compliance with the OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals No. 406 "Skin Sensitisation" (adopted 17 July 1992) and Method B6 of Commission Directive 96/54/EC (which constitutes Annex V of Council Directive 67/548/EEC). The results may be used as a basis for classification and labelIing under Annex VI of Council Directive 67/548/EEC (as adapted to technical progress by Commission Directive 93/21/EEC).
Ten test and five control animals were used for the main study.
Based on the results of sighting tests, the concentrations of test material for the induction and challenge phases were selected as follows:
Intradermal Induction: 10% w/v in arachis oil BP
Topical Induction: 50% w/w in arachis oil BP
Topical Challenge: 50% and 25% w/w in arachis oil BP
The test material produced a 0% (0/10) sensitisation rate and was classified as a non-sensitiser to guinea pig skin.
The test material does not meet the criteria for classification according to EU classification system (Council Directive 67/548/EEC and Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008).
