Justification for non-LLNA method:
An OECD, GLP compliant Buehler study was commissioned for R&D purposes. Therefore, in the interest of animal welfare it was considered scientifically unjustified to re-run rhis study according to the LLNA assay

male
Details on test animals and environmental conditions:
Prior to use, all animals were acclimated for at least five days. Animals were individually housed in wire mesh suspension cages. The animals were maintained according to the recommendations contained in the National Academy Press 2011: ‘Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals’ The animals were supplied Purina Guinea Pig Chow and tap water ad libitum during both acclimation and test periods.
ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS:
Light/dark cycle: 12 hours light and 12 hour dark cycle
Temperature – 64 – 79 F
Relative Humidity – 30-70%

Details on study design:
The test substance was evaluated for skin sensitization potential by applying 0.4 ml at a 25% concentration in mineral oil directly into Hilltop chambers and applying them to the clipped left shoulder of twenty albino guinea pigs in the following manner. The animals were held gently, and the chambers were applied as quickly as possible to the clipped left shoulder. The chambers were secured with Micropore tape and further secured with Kendall adhesive tape. Approximately six hours later, the tape and chambers were removed. Two additional induction doses were conducted following the same procedure, at weekly intervals.
Two weeks after the final application the animals received a topical primary challenge dose (6 hours contact) of the test substance at 10% concentration in mineral oil on a naïve site located on the right shoulder. Animals were scored for irritation at 24 and 48 hours after initiation of the primary challenge application.
Challenge controls:
Ten guinea pigs served as a naïve control group, and remained untreated through the induction phase. Six naïve control animals received only the primary challenge dose, at a 10% concentration. The four remaining guinea pigs were designated for a re-challenge, if necessary.
Positive control substance(s):
yes

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 1B (indication of skin sensitising potential) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
Based on the results of this stuy, the test substance meets the CLP criteria for a skin sensitizer, category 1B.
Executive summary:

The test substance was evaluated for skin sensitization potential by applying 0.4 ml at a 25% concentration in mineral oil directly into Hilltop chambers and applying them to the clipped left shoulder of twenty albino guinea pigs in the following manner. The animals were held gently, and the chambers were applied as quickly as possible to the clipped left shoulder. The chambers were secured with Micropore tape and further secured with Kendall adhesive tape. Approximately six hours later, the tape and chambers were removed. Two additional induction doses were conducted following the same procedure, at weekly intervals.

Two weeks after the final application the animals received a topical primary challenge dose (6 hours contact) of the test substance at 10% concentration in mineral oil on a naïve site located on the right shoulder. Animals were scored for irritation at 24 and 48 hours after initiation of the primary challenge application.

Ten guinea pigs served as a naïve control group, and remained untreated through the induction phase. Six naïve control animals received only the primary challenge dose, at a 10% concentration. The four remaining guinea pigs were designated for a re-challenge, if necessary.

Following 0primary challenge of the test substance at 10% concentration, the incidence of grade 1 response or greater in the test group (19 of 20) was compared to that of the naïve control group (0 of 6). The incidence and severity of these responses were greater than those produced by the naïve control group indicating that a sensitization response had been induced. Based upon the results of the initial challenge dose it was decided that a re-challenge was necessary.

A subsequent re-challenge of the test substance at 5% concentration also resulted in responses greater than those produced in the naïve control group. Based upon the results of the challenge and re-challenge doses in terms of both incidence and severity of the responses, the test material would be considered a sensitizer.
