Any other information on results incl. tables
The intial challenge of 30% PCOC resulted in erythema in an unacceptable number of animals therefore a further provocation test was carried out of 10% and 20% PCOC on the left and right flank respectively.
After the second provocation test no clear differences between the test group and control group were observed .
Some animals of both groups reacted with erythema (score 1 -2).
Macroscopically none of the reactions were considered to be of an allergic nature.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- other: not sensitising
- Conclusions:
- Based on the results of the Scantox study , 4-chloro-o-cresol is not required to be classified as a sensitiser.
- Executive summary:
A guinea pig maximisation test was performed to OECD guidelines using 40 female albino guinea pigs.
The initial provocation test at 30% PCOC caused unacceptable levels of erythema in the animals therefore a further provocation test was performed at 10% and 20% PCOC a week later.
No clear differences were observed between the test group and the control group. No allergic reactions were observed macroscopically.
4-chloro-o-cresol is not classified as a sensitiser.
