Principles of method if other than guideline:

A group of 10 white male guinea-pigs weighing 300-500 g were identified and housed individually. The hair was removed from their backs with an electric clipper prior to initiation of study and whenever necessary throughout the study. They subsisted on commercial rabbit pellets,greens, carrots and water.
A 0.1% solution or suspension of the test material in mazola corn oil was injected intra-cutaneously, using sterile 26-gauge hypodermic needles and sterile tuberculin syringes. The injections were perfomed three times weekly, until a total of ten had been made. These ten sensitising injections were performed at random in the shaved back areas. The eleventh (re-test) injection was made just below the region of the ten sensitising injections. Mazola corn oil was employed as a control and was injected in the same amounts as the test material.
The first injection for each test animal consisted of 0.05 mL, while the remaining none injections consisted of 0.1 mL each. Two weeks after the tenth injection, a challenge (re-test) injection was performed using 0.5 mL of a freshly prepared solution or suspension.
Twenty-four hours after each injection, scores were recorded for the diameter, height and redness of the reactions (if any). A comparison of the reaction following the challenge (re-test) injection was made with the average score for the ten sensitising injections.

Test Guidance

Landsteiner and Jacobs Guinea-pig sensitisation study

Method

A group of 10 white male guinea-pigs weighing 300-500 g were identified and housed individually. The hair was removed from their backs with an electric clipper prior to initiation of study and whenever necessary throughout the study. They subsisted on commercial rabbit pellets,greens, carrots and water.

A 0.1% solution or suspension of the test material in mazola corn oil was injected intra-cutaneously, using sterile 26-gauge hypodermic needles and sterile tuberculin syringes. The injections were perfomed three times weekly, until a total of ten had been made. These ten sensitising injections were performed at random in the shaved back areas. The eleventh (re-test) injection was made just below the region of the ten sensitising injections. Mazola corn oil was employed as a control and was injected in the same amounts as the test material.

The first injection for each test animal consisted of 0.05 mL, while the remaining none injections consisted of 0.1 mL each. Two weeks after the tenth injection, a challenge (re-test) injection was performed using 0.5 mL of a freshly prepared solution or suspension.

Twenty-four hours after each injection, scores were recorded for the diameter, height and redness of the reactions (if any). A comparison of the reaction following the challenge (re-test) injection was made with the average score for the ten sensitising injections.

Results

No sensitisation responses were recorded after any of the ten sensitising injections of a 0.1% solution of the test material in corn oil or after the challenge (re-test) injection. No sensitisation responses were seen in control animals dosed concurrently with the vehicle, corn oil.

Conclusion

The test material elicited a 0/10 sensitisation rate in a guinea-pig study. The substance is not a skin sensitiser under the conditions of the study. In accordance with EU CLP Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 classification of this substance for skin sensitisation is not required.
