Description of key information

There are no skin sensitisation data for 3-chloropropyl(dimethoxy)methylsilane (CAS 18171-19-2; EC No. 242-056-0). Therefore, data have been read across from the structurally related 3-chloropropyl(diethoxy)methylsilane (CAS 13501-76-3; EC No. 236-828-6). In a skin sensitisation study (Buehler test), conducted to OECD Test Guideline 406 and in compliance with GLP (Hüls AG, 1997e, Reliability Score 1), 3-chloropropyl(diethoxy)methylsilane was not sensitising to the skin of guinea pigs. No local or systemic effects were observed in this study.

A skin sensitisation study conducted according to OECD Test Guideline 429 will be conducted and added to the dossier when available.

Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
23.09.1996 to 12.12.1996
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 406 (Skin Sensitisation)
Deviations:
no
GLP compliance:
yes (incl. QA statement)
Type of study:
Buehler test
Justification for non-LLNA method:
An LLNA study was not performed because there is an existing reliable study for skin sensitisation using the Buehler test method. Furthermore, the LLNA test method is not considered to be suitable for substances that contain silicon. Please refer to the attached document for further details.

Details on study design:
RANGE FINDING TESTS: The undiluted test substance was determined to be the highest non-irritating concentration. Therefore the test substance was applied undiluted in the induction and challenge phases.

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
In a skin sensitisation study (Buehler test) conducted according to OECD 406 and in compliance with GLP (reliability score 1), (3-chloropropyl)diethoxymethylsilane was not sensitising to the skin of guinea pigs. No local or systemic effects were observed in this study.
Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no adverse effect observed (not sensitising)
Additional information:

There are no skin sensitisation data for 3-chloropropyl(dimethoxy)methylsilane. Therefore, data have been read across from the structurally related 3-chloropropyl(diethoxy)methylsilane. The key study was conducted according to OECD Test Guideline 406 and in compliance with GLP and was the only skin sensitisation study available for the source substance. The test substance was not sensitising to guinea pig skin (Huls AG, 1997b).

At induction, 100% of the test substance in maize oil vehicle was applied to the left flank region of the animals (day 0). This application process was repeated in total three times (day 7 and 14). The undiluted test substance was applied epicutaneously to the same area for 6 h.

At challenge, on day 28 (two weeks after the last topical induction application), 100 % of the test substance in maize oil as the vehicle, was applied to the right flank region for 6 h. Evaluation of sensitisation occurred 24 and 48 h after patch removal. No local or systemic effects were observed and no irritation was observed in any of the animals during the three induction phases or the challenge phase.

Skin sensitisation data are provided for the analogue substances (3-chloropropyl)trimethoxysilane (CAS 2530-87-2, Hüls, 1993e) and (3-chloropropyl)triethoxysilane (CAS 5089-70-3, Dow Corning Corporation, 1995) have been included in support of the analogue group approach taken for this substance.

See Section 13 of IUCLID for the read-across justification reports.

Endpoint conclusion:
no study available

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on read across data from 3-chloropropyl(diethoxy)methylsilane, 3-chloropropyl(dimethoxy)methylsilane is not classified as a skin sensitiser according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
