Endpoint:
skin sensitisation: in vivo (non-LLNA)
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
1981
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: this study was not conducted under GLP as well as no testing guideline was cited. However, the study followed a modification of the Magnusson-Kligman procedure and was therefore comparable to OECD TG 406 (1992).

Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
equivalent or similar to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 406 (Skin Sensitisation)
Deviations:
yes
Remarks:
only subcutanuous application , no top application
GLP compliance:
no
Type of study:
guinea pig maximisation test
Justification for non-LLNA method:
A valid GPMT conducted according to guideline is available, which is reliable without restrictions and adequate for classification and labelling purposes. Potency estimation is not mandatory when existing guideline and GLP conforming data are available, which were conducted before the new annex of the REACH Regulation entered into force. Moreover, no indication for skin sensitisation was observed in this study, thus, no dose response information is needed. For this reason and for reasons of animal welfare no additional LLNA was conducted.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
In a valid and reliable study, the test substance Troenan was considered not to be a skin sensitizer for guinea pig under the test conditions.
Executive summary:

The allergenicity test was made on a group of adult female Pirbright White guinea pigs with a mean initial weight of 598 g (test animals) and 565 g (control animals), respectively.

The test group consisted of 20 animals; another 19 animals served as control (1 control animal died in the first week due to unknown reasons). The test substance was prepared by blending a 5 % olive oil preparation of the test substance with Freund's adjuvant at a 1:1 ratio. The induction of sensitisation, the application intervals and the challenge were made according to the modification of the Magnusson-Kligman procedure. Potential skin reactions were read 24 and 48 hours after challenging.

No positive reactions wer obtained from all test animals 24 and 48 hours after challenge. The body weights of the test and control animals showed a normal and parallel development in the course of the test.

According to those results and to maximisation evaluation Troenan can be graded as a non sensitizer for guinea pig.
