Interpretation of results:
not sensitising
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
In this screening test, performed in twenty albino guinea-pigs, the test substance produced evidence of delayed contact hypersensitivity in five animals (25%). An inconclusive response was seen in the two animals. As this value is below the CLP criteria of 30%, this study does not trigger a positive classification.
Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no adverse effect observed (not sensitising)
Additional information:

A delayed contact hypersensitivity study was conducted according to OECD 406 guideline using guinea-pig (Kynoch, 1989). Key study. In this screening test, performed in twenty albino guinea-pigs, the test substance produced evidence of delayed contact hypersensitivity in five animals (25%). An inconclusive response was seen in the two animals. As this value is below the CLP criteria of 30%, this study does not trigger a positive classification. In addition, two separate patch tests on human volunteers did not result in significant positive allergic responses.


Justification for classification or non-classification

Skin sensitisation: a delayed contact hypersensitivity study showed the test substance is a weak sensitizer, and no sensitization occurred in human patch tests. Therefore in accordance with Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 Table 3.4.2 the substance is not classified for this skin sensitisation endpoint. However, under the harmonized classification, index: 613 -099 -00 -6, 1-dodecyl-2-pyrrolidone is classified as Skin Sens. cat. 1.
