Description of key information
In order to assess the cutaneous allergenic potential of the substance, the Maximization-test in accordance with OECD Guideline No. 406 and the Directive 92/69 EEC B.6 was carried out in 30 (20 test and 10 control) male albino guinea pigs. The registration substance is considered to be a non-skin sensitizer under the conditions of this test.

- RANGE FINDING TESTS:
A pretest with 6 animals (intradermal: 2 animals, epidermal: 4 animals) was conducted to identify a maximally tolerated concentration of the test article suitable for the induction phase of the main study. In addition, a suitable non-irritant concentration of the test article, by the topical route of administration, was identified for the challenge application.
All animals were sensitized with intradermal application of a 1:1 suspension of FCA/physiological saline one week before the treatments.
Intradermal injections: 1, 3, and 5% in bidistilled water
Epidermal application: 10, 15, 25, 50% in bidistilled water
Reactions were evaluated 24h (intradermal injection) and 24 and 48h (epidermal application) after beginning of the treatment.

- Conclusions:
- The substance applied at a concentration of 25% in bi-distilled water is considered to be a non-sensitizer.
- Executive summary:
In order to assess the cutaneous allergenic potential of the substance, the Maximization-test in accordance with OECD Guideline No. 406 and the Directive 92/69 EEC B.6 was carried out in 30 (20 test and 10 control) male albino guinea pigs.
The intradermal induction of sensitization was carried out with a 5% dilution of the test article in bi-distilled water and in an emulsion with Freund's Complete Adjuvant (FCA)/physiological saline. The epicutaneous induction of sensitization was conducted under occlusion with the test article at 50% in bi-distilled water. Two weeks after the epicutaneous induction application the challenge was completed by epicutaneous application of the test article at 25% in bi-distilled water under occlusive dressing. The animals of the control group were induced with bi-distilled water and FCA/physiological and challenged similarly as those of the test group. Cutaneous reactions, i.e erythema and eschar, as well as oedema formation were evaluated at 24 and 48 hours after removal of the dressing.
No reactions were observed 24 and 48h after the challenge period.
In this study 0% of the animals of the test and control group were observed with positive skin reactions after treatment with a non-irritant test substance concentration of 25% in bi-distilled water.
Therefore, the substance applied at a concentration of 25% in bi-distilled water is considered to be a non-sensitizer when used under the described test conditions.

Endpoint conclusion
- Endpoint conclusion:
- no adverse effect observed (not sensitising)
- Additional information:
In order to assess the sensitizing potential of the test substance an OECD 406 Maximization test was performed. The intradermal induction of sensitization was carried out with a 5% dilution of the test article in bi-distilled water and in an emulsion with Freund's Complete Adjuvant (FCA)/physiological saline. The epicutaneous induction of sensitization was conducted under occlusion with the test article at 50% in bi-distilled water. Two weeks after the epicutaneous induction application the challenge was completed by epicutaneous application of the test article at 25% in bi-distilled water under occlusive dressing. The animals of the control group were induced with bi-distilled water and FCA/physiological and challenged similarly as those of the test group.
No reactions were observed 24 hours and 48 hours after the challenge period.
In this study 0% of the animals of the test- and control group were observed with positive skin reactions after treatment with a non-irritant test substance concentration of 25% in bidistilled water.
Justification for selection of skin sensitisation endpoint:
The selected study was performed under GLP and in accordance with OECD TG 406 (Maximization-test ). No other studies are available.

Endpoint conclusion
- Endpoint conclusion:
- no study available
Justification for classification or non-classification
Based on the result of the skin sensitization study according to Magnuson & Kligman, the registration substance is considered to be a non-sensitizer.
