Results and discussion
- Positive control results:
- The sensitivity of this test system was checked by means of a positive control study with benzocaine (BZ). The challenge treatment with a 30% dilution of BZ in vaseline induced positive reactions in 50% of the test animals, whereas no skin reactions were observed in the controls. These results clearly show sensitization by BZ. Therefore, it can be concluded that the experimental design and the strain of guinea pigs used are suitable to detect possible sensitizing potential of lest materials.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- Because upon challenge none of the test animals reacted it can be concluded that according to the EC-standards (mentioned in EC Directive 93/21/EC and published in the Official Journal of the European Communities, L 110 A, Volume 36, 4 May 1993), d-delta-rich tocopherols concentrate (EMD) is not sensitizing.
- Executive summary:
1. The test material EMD was examined for possible sensitizing properties by a maximization test in guinea pigs using 10 test animals and 6 controls.
2. The test comprised:
Test animals
- induction treatment by intradermal injections of Freund's Complete Adjuvant (FCA) 1:1 diluted with isotonic saline, a 10% dilution of EMD in maize oil, and a 10% test dilution in FCA/diluent 1:1, followed one week later by topical application of undiluted EMD (test site pretreated with sodium Iauryl sulfate),
- challenge treatment, 14 days after the last induction, by topical application of a 30% dilution of EMD in maize oil and with the vehicle alone
Controls
- induction treatment by intradermal injections of FCA/saline 1:1, maize oil alone, and FCA/diluent 1:1, followed one week Iater by topical application of empty patches (test site pretreated with sodium lauryl sulfate), and
- challenge treatment, 14 days after the last induction, by topical application of a 10% dilution of EMD in maize oil and with the vehicle alone.
3. The challenge treatment with EMD did not cause any skin reaction in the ten test animals. On the basis of the results obtained under the conditions of this study and according to the EC-standards (mentioned in EC Directive 93/21/EC and published in the Official Journal of the European Communities, L 110 A, Volume 36, 4 May 1993), it was concluded that EMD is not sensitizing.
