- Evaluation (hr after challenge): 24 hours and 48 hours after removal of the dressings.


Positive control substance(s):
yes
Remarks:
Potassiumdichromate

Results and discussion

Positive control results:
Seven out of ten animals after 24 hours and six out of ten animals after 48 hours showed positive skin reactions after the challenge procedure with potassiumdichromate at 1% in vaseline, no skin effects were noted in the test animals when treated with the vehicle alone. No skin effects were noted in control group when treated with potassiumdichromate at 1% in vaseline or with the vehicle alone.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
sensitising
Remarks:
Migrated information
Conclusions:
70% after 24 hours and 100% after 48 hours of the test animals were sensitised under the experimental conditions employed. The substance is considered to be an extreme skin sensitiser in albino guinea pigs.
Executive summary:

In order to assess the cutaneous allergenic potential of the substance, the Maximization-Test was performed in 30 (20 test and 10 control) males and females albino guinea pigs, in accordance with OECD Guideline No. 406 and the Directive 84/449/EEC, B.6.

The intradermal induction of sensitization in the test group was performed in the nuchal region with a 1% dilution of the test item in Oleum arachidis and in mixture of Freund's Complete Adjuvant (FCA) / physiological saline. The epidermal induction of sensitization was conducted for 48 hours under occlusion with the test item at 100 % one week after the intradermal induction. The animals of the control group were induced with the vehicle and Freund's Complete Adjuvant.

Two weeks after epidermal induction the control and test animals were challenged by epidermal application of the test item at 50 % in vaseline and vaseline alone under occlusive dressing.

Cutaneous reactions were evaluated at 24 and 48 hours after removal of the dressing. 14 out of t20 animals (70%) after 24 hours and all 20 animals (100%) after 48 hours showed positive skin reactions after the challenge procedure with the substance at 50% in vaseline, no skin effects were noted in the test animals when treated with the vehicle alone. Only one animal showed effects at the 24 -hour reading in the control group when treated with the substance at 50% in vaseline and no effects were noted when treated with vaseline alone. Based on the above mentioned findings the substance is considered to be a skin sensitiser.
