Key study

 

A study was performed to assess the skin sensitisation potential of SAN 836H 86 SP 401 DP Formulation using the guinea pig. The method followed was that described in:

EPA Pesticide Assessment Guidelines, Subdivision F. Hazard Evaluation: Human and Domestic Animals 81-6 Dermal sensitization study (Revised Edition November 1984).

Based on the results of a preliminary study and in compliance with the guideline, the following dose levels were selected:

Induction (epicutaneous): 50% w/v in Alembicol D

Challenge (epicutaneous): 50% w/v in Alembicol D

Twenty test and ten control guinea-pigs were used in this study.

In this study, SAN 836H 86 SP 401 DP Formulation did not produce evidence of skin sensitisation (delayed contact hypersensitivity) in eighteen of the twenty test animals. A further one animal gave an inconclusive response and the remaining test animal gave a positive response.

 

Supporting study

 

The read-across test substance (free acid) was tested for its sensitizing effect on the skin of the guinea pig in the Modified BUEHLER Test with 9 induction treatments according to the method of BUEHLER, E.V. (1965).

The application of the main test was performed over three weeks.

All inductions (epicutaneous) were performed with 60% test substance preparations (highest applicable concentration). The first, second and third induction caused discrete or patchy erythema in 2 test group animals.

After the fourth until ninth induction no signs of skin irritation were observed in all test group animals. A challenge (epicutaneous) was performed 13 days after the last induction.

The animals showed no clinical signs and skin sensitizing effect.

The expected body weight gain was generally observed in the course of the study.

The control group animals, which were applied with 1% Tylose CB 30.000 in aqua bidest., did not show any skin reactions.

 

Based on the results of this study and applying the evaluation criteria it was concluded that the read- across test substance (free acid) does not have a sensitizing effect on the skin of the guinea pig in the Modified BUEHLER Test under the test conditions chosen.

 

In a further supporting study with the read across test substance (free acid) conducted according the EPA guideline the test substance did not produce evidence of skin sensitisation (delayed contact hypersensitivity) in any of the twenty test animals tested.

Thus, the substance was judged non-sensitizing.

 

 

 


Migrated from Short description of key information:
The test item and the read- across test substance (free acid of the registered substance) do not have a sensitizing effect on the skin of the guinea pigs in the BUEHLER Test under the test conditions chosen.

Justification for selection of skin sensitisation endpoint:
GLP and guideline compliant study

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the data of the test substance and read-across substance Diflufenzopyr (free acid), the substance Diflufenzopyr sodium salt needs not be classified as a skin sensitiser according to the criteria of Directive 67/548/EEC (DSD) and Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 (CLP).
