Reference
One animal in the test group was found dead after the third induction. Necrospy showed lungs pale, liver pale, abdominal cavity filled witha red blood-like material and slight post mortem autolysis.
The incidence and severity of the responses in the test group was essentially comparable to that produced by the naive control group, indicating that sensitisation had not been induced.
Endpoint conclusion
- Endpoint conclusion:
- no adverse effect observed (not sensitising)
- Additional information:
In a Buehler test performed using a method similar to OECD TG 406, C8 alkane sulfonate was found to be non-sensitising to the skin of guinea pigs.The incidence(1/19 and 5/19 positive reactions at 24 and 48 hours after challenge, compared to 0/10 and 3/10 for the negative controls)and severity of the responses in the test group was essentially comparable to that produced by the negative control group, indicating that sensitisation had not been induced. This result is read across to the substance as C8 alkane sulfonate is the main constituent and has the same structure as the other main constituent, C6 alkane sulfonate.
Respiratory sensitisation
Endpoint conclusion
- Endpoint conclusion:
- no study available
Justification for classification or non-classification
The substance is not sensitising, based on read across to data on the main constituent, which has the same structure as the other main constituent of the substance. Classification is not required.
