Any other information on results incl. tables

No symptoms and no mortalities occurred during the treatment. The gain in weight of the test group was equal to the control group. No skin reactions occurred during the experiment.

The clinical findings for the pilot study for the topical induction having applied test formulations of 3, 6, 12 to a maximum of 25 % are given below. The pilot studies of the same design for finding the application concentration for the challenge yielded exactly the same results for animals 41 to 45.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not sensitising
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
After challenge with a 25 % formulation of the test item no skin reactions occurred, neither in the test nor in the control group. The test substance is considered not sensitising to the skin.
Executive summary:

In a GLP-compliant dermal sensitisation study according to OECD guideline 406 with TCD-emulsifier (25 % w/v in polyethylene glycol E400), 20 male young adult guinea pigs (strain: Bor:DHPW) were tested using the method of Magnusson and Kligman (GPMT). No mortalities or clinical symptoms were observed. A 25 % solution of the test item (the maximum attainable concentration for formulations) did not cause primary irritation. Therefore, animals were treated with sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) prior to topical application of the test item to induce skin irritation.

The animals of the test group were exposed intradermally (5 % w/v) to the test substance, followed by a single topical exposure (25 % w/v) after 7 days. The topical challenge (25 % w/v) was conducted 21 days after the initial intradermal induction for 24 h. Observations were made after 48 and 72 h.  None of the exposed animals showed signs of an allergic reaction.

In this study, the test item is not a dermal sensitiser according to Regulation (EC) 1272/2008.
