Description of key information
Skin Sensitisation
An in vivo skin sensitisation study with 3-methyl-1,3-butanediol acetate (IPD-AC) is available. A local lymph node assay (LLNA) in the mouse has been conducted in accordance with OECD 429. Neat test substance and dilutions of 50% or 25% were added to the ears (25 µL per ear) of 4 animals. A control groups was also included. The results show that the test substance is not sensitising to skin. Therefore, according to Annex I for Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 the active ingredient, IPD-AC has no obligatory labelling requirement for skin sensitisation and is unclassified for this endpoint.
Respiratory sensitisation
There are currently no validated animal tests that deal specifically with respiratory tract sensitisation, therefore this endpoint was not investigated.

- PRE-SCREEN TESTS:
One mouse was treated by daily application of 25 µL of undiluted test item to the dorsal surface of each ear for three consecutive days (Days 1, 2 and 3). Local skin irritation was recorded daily on Days 1 to 6. The ear thickness was measured pre-dose on Day 1, post dose on Day 3 and again on Day 6.Change in ear thickness was determined and a change of =>25% was considered to be excessive irritation.
MAIN STUDY
Groups of four mice were treated with undiluted test item, 50% or 25% concentrations in acetone:olive oil (4:1), or the vehicle alone. The mice were treated with by daily application of 25 µL of test substance or control to the dorsal surface of each ear for three consecutive days (Days 1, 2 and 3). The substance was administered by micropipette and spread over the dorsal surface of the ear using the tip of the pipette.
Five days following the first topical application (Day 6), mice were injected via the tail vein with 250 µL phosphate buffered saline contained 3H-methyl thymidine (3HTdR; 80 µCi/mL; specific activity 2.0 Ci/mmol) giving each mouse a total of 20 µCi.
Clinical observations were made twice daily on Days 1 to 3 and daily on Days 4 to 6. The body weight was recorded on Day 1 prior to dosing and on Day 6 prior to termination.
Five hours after administration of 3HTdR, the animals were euthanised. The draining auricular lymph node from the mice were excised and pooled for each group. Phosphate buffered saline (PBS) (1 mL) was added to each pooled sample. A single cell suspension was prepared by mechanical disaggregation through a 200-mesh gauze. The cells were rinsed through the gauze with 4 mL of PBS into a petri dish. The lymph nodes were transferred to a centrifuge tube and the petri dish rinsed with 5 mL of PBS which was added to the tube. The cells were centrifuged at 190 g for 10 minutes and resuspended in 10 mL of PBS and repelleted in 3 mL of 5% trichloroacetic acid.
After approximately 18 hours incubation at approximately 4°C, the precipitates were recovered by centrifugation at 450 g for 10 minutes, resuspended in 1 mL of TCA and transferred to 10 mL of scintillation fluid. The incorporation of 3HTdR was measured by ß-scintillation counting. After approximately 20 minutes in the dark, the samples were shaken and the number of radioactive disintegrations per minutes were measured.
DATA EVALUATION:
The proliferation of the lymph nodes was expressed as the number of radioactive disintegrations per minutes per lymph node (disintegrations per minutes/node) and as the ratio of 3HTdR incorporations into lymph node cells of test nodes relative to that recorded for the control nodes (Stimulation Index).
A test substance is considered to be sensitising if at least one concentration has a threefold or greater increase in 3HTdR incorporation compared to control values.
A test substance is considered to be not sensitising if there is no threefold or greater increase in 3HTdR incorporation compared to control values. - Positive control substance(s):

- Statistics:

- Positive control results:
- Positive control, a-hexylcinnamaldehyde was tested previously in a separate study with the same vehicle and shown to be a sensitisier in the assay system (SI was 6.08).

- Executive summary:
A skin sensitisation study has been conducted in mice using the local lymph node assay in accordance with OCED test guideline 429 and in compliance with GLP. Groups of four mice were each treated with 50 µL (25 µL per ear) of 25%, 50% or 100% of IPD-AC. A control group of four mice were also tested with the vehicle control, acetone:olive oil at 4:1. The Stimulation Index (SI) was expressed as the mean radioactive incorporation for each treatment group divided by the mean radioactive incorporation of the vehicle control. The SI values for all the treatment groups were less than 3, indicating that the test substance is not sensitising to skin under the conditions of this study.

Justification for classification or non-classification
Comparison with the CLP criteria
In conclusion, the LLNA concludes that IPD-AC is devoid of skin sensitisation potential. Therefore, according to Annex I for Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 the active ingredient, IPD-AC has no obligatory labelling requirement for skin sensitisation and is unclassified for this endpoint.
