Justification for selection of skin sensitisation endpoint:

Two K2 studies are available with some deviations and limited reporting.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Endpoint:
skin sensitisation: in vitro
Data waiving:
study scientifically not necessary / other information available
Justification for data waiving:
an in vitro skin sensitisation study does not need to be conducted because adequate data from an in vivo skin sensitisation study are available
Endpoint:
skin sensitisation: in vivo (non-LLNA)
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
21 June 2011 - 22 July 2011
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: The study has some deviations and the information in the report is limited.
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 406 (Skin Sensitisation)
Principles of method if other than guideline:
The study has many deviations and the information in the report is incomplete.
- The laboratory has no GLP accreditation.
- No details on animal housing and actual environmental conditions.
- It is not mentioned if water/diet is analyzed for contaminants.
- The LLNA is the preferred test method.
- A minimum of 20 animals is used in the treatment group and at least 10 animals in the control group. In this case 15 animals were used in both the control and test group.
- It is not clear if the induction was performed under occlusion: the area was covered with surgical bandage and fixed with non-irritative tape. These do not seem to be occlusive conditions.
GLP compliance:
no
Remarks:
The study was conducted in China for a Chinese registration. The laboratory has no GLP accreditation.
Type of study:
Buehler test
Justification for non-LLNA method:
study conducted in China and OECD 406 was chosen
