RESULTS OF PILOT STUDY: no irritation at concentrations of 100% test substance

RESULTS OF TEST

- Sensitization reaction: 0/20

- Clinical signs: Local reactions after intradermal application (test and control animals after 1 and 24 hours): All FCA treated injections sites showed severe erythema, edema and necrosis. The animals treated with 10% test substance in maize germ oil showed well defined erythema and edema.

Local reactions after patch test (48 hours): 1 hour after patch removal, test and control animals: whole application area showed erythema and edema, as well as inflamed or bloody lesions, restlessness of the animals and scratching in the application area.

24 hours after patch removal: Some animals showed erythema and eschar formation in the whole application area.

Interpretation of results:
not sensitising
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
1,2,4-Benzenetricarboxylic acid, mixed decyl and octyl triesters showed no sensitising effect on guinea pig skin under the described test conditions.
Executive summary:

A structural analogue of the substance (1,2,4 -Benzenetricarboxylic acid, mixed decyl and octyl triesters) has been tested for dermal sensitisation in guinea pigs by the Magnusson and Kligman maximisation test according to OECD guideline 406. No response was observed at challenge and, on the basis of these results, the substance was regarded as having no sensitising effect on the skin of guinea pigs.

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no adverse effect observed (not sensitising)
Additional information:

Dermal sensitisation of a structurally related substance, an ester of 1,2,4 -benzenetricarboxylic acid mixed octyl and decyl ester has been examined in a maximisation test in guinea pigs. No evidence of skin sensitisation was observed in any of the treated animals.

(Q)SAR modelling using the OASIS database indicates that the substance itself is not predicted to exhibit skin sensitisation based on the lack of functional groups in the structure capable of protein binding.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Classification with regard to skin sensitisation is not justified based on the observed lack of response in the relevant study(ies) and taking into account the provisions laid down in Council Directive 67/548/EEC and CLP (1272/2008/EC).
