MAIN STUDY
ANIMAL ASSIGNMENT AND TREATMENT
- Name of test method: LLNA
- Criteria used to consider a positive response: stimulation index > 3
TREATMENT PREPARATION AND ADMINISTRATION:
Animals from the different test groups, vehicle and positive control groups were treated with the respective preparation for 3 consecutive days. The preparations were applied to the dorsum of both ears under open application with a volume of 25 µL. Afterwards a 2 day rest period was done. - Positive control substance(s):
- hexyl cinnamic aldehyde (CAS No 101-86-0)
- Statistics:
- A one-way parametric analysis of variance (ANOVA) with Dunnetfs Multiple Comparisons Test, using GraphPad InStat for Windows (GraphPad Software, San Diego California USA) was performed on DPM counts. If Test Groups showed a Stimulation Index (SI) of > 3, the extrapolated EC3 was calculated from SI values.
- Positive control results:
- Two positive control animals were found dead on Day 6. All positive control survivors lost weight. Test/vehicle control ratio based on group mean DPM was 15.8 for the positive control group. The positive control item produced a stimulation index > 3, confirming animal sensitization potential.

- Test group / Remarks:
- based on mid (50 %) to low concentration (25 %)
- Cellular proliferation data / Observations:
- CELLULAR PROLIFERATION DATA
For the 25 % test substance group the mean DPM count was 4778 (±2229). For the 50 % test substance group the mean DPM count was 10600 (±5886). For the 100 % test substance group the mean DPM count was 7108 (±3344).
CLINICAL OBSERVATIONS:
In the 100 % test group 1 animal was found dead on day 6. From the survivors 4 animals treated with 50 % test substance and 1 animal treated with 100 % test substance showed a reduction of body weight.
BODY WEIGHTS
From the survivors 4 animals treated with 50 % test substance and 1 animal treated with 100 % test substance showed a reduction of body weight. - Interpretation of results:
- Category 1B (indication of skin sensitising potential) based on GHS criteria
- Conclusions:
- The test substance was determined to be skin sensitizing in a LLNA test.
- Executive summary:
A study was performed to assess the skin sensitization potential of the test material in the CBA/Jcr strain mouse following topical application to the dorsal surface of the ear. The study was performed according to OECD Guideline 429 and GLP. Three groups, each of 5 animals, were treated with 50 µL (25 µL per ear) of the test material as a solution in acetone/olive oil 4:1 at concentrations of 25 %, 50 % or 100 %. A further group of five animals was treated with acetone/olive oil 4:1 alone (vehicle control) and another group of 5 was treated with alpha-hexylcinnamaldehyde (positive control). The resulting stimulation index was ≥ 3 in all treatment groups. Based on extrapolated EC3 values of 9.0 % and 20.4 %, the test item is considered a moderate to weak sensitizer (Cat. 1B).

Justification for classification or non-classification
Classification, Labelling, and Packaging Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008
The available experimental test data is reliable and suitable for classification purposes under Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008. Based on available data on skin sensitisation, the test item is classified for skin sensitisation into category 1B and labeled with H317 (May cause an allergic skin reaction) according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 (CLP), as amended for the ninth time in Regulation (EU) No 2016/1179.
