- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- Based on the findings in an adjuvant sensitization test in guinea pigs, MG-60 does not have to be classified and labelled as a skin sensitzier. One out of 10 test animals showed skin reactions after the challenge treatment with MG-60 at 25 % (w/w) in purified water.
- Executive summary:
In order to assess the cutaneous allergenic potential of MG-60, the Maximization-Test was performed in 15 (10 test and 5 control) female albino guinea pigs. A positive control study using 15 (10 positive control and 5 control) animals is reported as well.
The intradermal induction of sensitization in the test group was performed in the nuchal region with a 75 % dilution of the test item in purified water and in an emulsion of Freund's Complete Adjuvant (FCA)/physiological saline. The epidermal induction of sensitization was conducted for 48 hours under occlusion with the undiluted test item one week after the intradermal induction. The animals of the control group were intradermally induced with purified water under occlusion.
Two weeks after epidermal induction the control and test animals were challenged by epidermal application of the test item at 25 % in purified water and pruified ater alone under occlusive dressing. Cutaneous reactions were evaluated at 24 and 48 hours after removal of the dressing.
No toxic symptoms were evident in the guinea pigs of the control or test group.
No deaths occurred.
One our of 10 test animals showed skin reactions after the challenge treatment with MG-60 at 25 % (w/w) in purified water. No skin effect was observed in the control group.
The positive control substance proved to be a skin sensitiser (i.e. all test animals showed skin reactions after the challenge treatment).
