Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: not sensitizing
Conclusions:
Based on the available data for the various test chemicals and applying the weight of evidence approach, it can be concluded that the test chemical will also behave in similar manner and was estimated to be not sensitizing to skin. Thus it can be further classified under the category “Not Classified” as per CLP regulation.
 
Executive summary:

The dermal sensitization potential of the test chemical was assessed based on the available results from the various test chemicals.

An open repetitive dermal test of the test chemical was conducted on guinea pigs to examine the contact sensitization caused by the chemical. 20 guinea pigs were used for the study.

The test chemical was rubbed into shaved skin for 30 sec once daily for 3x5 days. After 5 days without application, the test substance was rubbed into an untreated part of the skin. Skin lesions were examined after 24 h, 2 and 3 days.

No known signs of skin sensitization were observed in treated guinea pigs during the 3 days observation period. Hence the test chemical was considered to be not sensitizing to the skin of guinea pigs.

This is supported by the results of a human maximisation test carried out to determine skin sensitization potential of the test chemical. The test chemical 8% in petrolatum was applied to the skin of 25 human volunteers and observed for signs of dermal sensitization (duration of exposure, observation period not specified).

None of the volunteers showed any signs of contact sensitization. Hence the test chemical was considered to be not sensitizing to the skin of human volunteers.

These results are further supported by another Human maximisation test conducted on 24 volunteers to assess the skin sensitization potential of test chemical. Each subject was treated with 8% in petrolatum dermally and later observed for any signs of contact allergy. Since the chemical not induce any skin sensitizing effects in treated volunteers, the test chemical was considered to be not sensitizing to the skin of 24 human volunteers.

Based on the available data for the various test chemicals and applying the weight of evidence approach, it can be concluded that the test chemical will also behave in similar manner and was estimated to be not sensitizing to skin. Thus it can be further classified under the category “Not Classified” as per CLP regulation.
