IN-LIFE DATES: From: To: 13th September to 22nd October 1999
Route:
intradermal
Vehicle:
other: arachis oil and Freud's Complete Adjuvant (1:1 mixture with distilled water)
Concentration / amount:
5% v/v in arachis oil BP and 5% v/v in Freud's Complete Adjuvant (1:1 mixture with distilled water)
Day(s)/duration:
7 days after intradermal induction the same sites of the animals were further induced by epicutaneous exposure for two days.
Adequacy of induction:
highest concentration used causing mild-to-moderate skin irritation and well-tolerated systemically
No.:
#1
Route:
epicutaneous, occlusive
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Day(s)/duration:
1 day
No.:
#2
Route:
epicutaneous, occlusive
Vehicle:
arachis oil
Concentration / amount:
75%
Day(s)/duration:
1 day
No. of animals per dose:
Number of animals in test group: 10
Number of animals in negative control group: 5
Details on study design:
RANGE FINDING TESTS:
For intradermal induction two concentrations (1% and 5%) in arachis oil were used indicating that 5% caused mild to moderate skin irritation.
For topical induction undiluted as well as in arachis oil diluted substance was used indicating that undiluted substance caused mild irritation.
MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE

- Control group: 1 control group of 5 animals
- Site: shoulder region
- Frequency of applications:
- Duration:
- Concentrations:

- Day(s) of challenge:
- Exposure period: 1 day
- Test groups:
- Control group:
- Site: flank region
- Concentrations: undiluted to the right side, 75% in arachis oil to the left side
- Evaluation (hr after challenge): 24 h and 48 h after challange

Maximum concentration not causing irritating effects in preliminary test: 100 %

Signs of irritation during induction:
Discrete or patchy to moderate and confluent erythema was
noted at the intradermal induction sites of all test group
animals at the 24 and 48 hour observations.

Brown coloured residual test material prevented accurate
evaluation of erythema after topical induction.

Evidence of sensitisation of each challenge concentration:
Number of animals showing evidence of sensitisation at each
challenge concentration: None

Other observations:
Bodyweight gains of animals in the test group, between Day 0
and Day 24, were comparable to those in the control group.

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The test material, S-900, produced a 0% (0/10) sensitisation rate and was classified as a non-sensitiser to guinea pig skin. The test material did not meet the criteria for classification as a sensitiser according to EU labelling regulations. No symbol and risk phrase are required.
Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no adverse effect observed (not sensitising)
Additional information:

Justification for selection of skin sensitisation endpoint:

The test material, S-900, produced a 0% (0/10) sensitisation rate and was classified as a non-sensitiser to guinea pig skin. The test material did not meet the criteria for classification as a sensitiser according to EU labelling regulations. No symbol and risk phrase are required.

Respiratory sensitisation

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no study available

Justification for classification or non-classification

No classification required from the result of OECD skin sensitisation study.
