- RANGE FINDING TESTS:
A dose-finding study was conducted in order to select suitable concentrations for sensitisation and challenge.
For intradermal injection, concentrations in the range of 0.1 - 5% of the test substance in corn oil were applied. 6 test item concentrations and vehicle control were injected at a volume of 0.1 mL into 3 guinea pigs (7 doses/body). For epicutaneous exposure, concentrations in the range of 5 - 50% of the test substance in acetone were applied for 24 h. 4 test item concentrations were applied to the skin of 6 guinea pigs (2 doses/body). Skin reactions were evaluated 24 and 48 h post application. Concentrations for the main experiment were chosen to cause mild irritation after intradermal and epicutaneous induction. Concentrations for the main experiment challenge were chosen to represent the highest non-irritating concentration.

- Concentrations: 5%
- Evaluation (hr after challenge): 24 and 48 h after patch removal
OTHER:
All animals were observed for clinical signs of toxicity and body weight development during the course of the study. - Challenge controls:
- The control group is actually a challenge control
- Positive control substance(s):
- yes
- Remarks:
- a-hexylcinnamaldehyde (HCA)
- Positive control results:
- The positive control substance (a-hexylcinnamaldehyde in acetone, 5% for intradermal induction, 100% for epicutaneous induction and 10% for epicutaneous treatment at challenge) induced positive reactions in 4/5 animals (80%), thus meeting the reliability criteria for the GPMT test (≥ 30% positive response).

Reference
No clinical signs of systemic toxicity were observed for any animal. In addition, the body weights of all animals increased similarly during the study period.
Endpoint conclusion
- Endpoint conclusion:
- no adverse effect observed (not sensitising)
- Additional information:
A GPMT assay analysing the skin sensitising properties of Sumilizer GP was conducted according to OECD guideline 406 and compliant with GLP. Test item concentrations for the study were selected based on the results of a preliminary toxicity study, and chosen to cause mild irritation after intradermal and epicutaneous induction.
In the main study, twenty female Hartley guinea pigs were induced intradermally with 5% test substance formulated in corn oil on study Day 0, followed by epicutaneous induction with 50% test substance formulated in acetone on study Day 7. After 48 h of exposure under semi-occlusive conditions, the patch was removed. Three weeks after the induction, the animals were challenged by epicutaneous treatment with 5% test item formulated in acetone. A similar constituted group of 10 vehicle control animals was induced, but remained untreated during the challenge. Further, a group of 5 positive control animals was induced intradermally with 5% and epicutaneously with 100% alpha-hexylcinnamaldehyde and challenged with 10% alpha-hexylcinnamaldehyde. Following 24 h of challenge exposure under semi-occlusive conditions, the patches were removed. Skin reactions were evaluated 24 and 48 h after removal of the test substance.
No clinical signs of systemic toxicity were observed for any animal. In addition, the body weights of all animals increased similarly during the study period. There were no skin reactions recorded at any reading time point in any test item-treated animal. Solvent and positive control treated animals showed the expected results, thus demonstrating the sensitivity and validity of the test system.
Based on the results of the study, the test item is not considered to be a skin sensitiser.
Respiratory sensitisation
Endpoint conclusion
- Endpoint conclusion:
- no study available
Justification for classification or non-classification
The available data on skin sensitisation do not meet the criteria for classification according to Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 (CLP) and are therefore conclusive but not sufficient for classification.
