RANGE FINDING TESTS:
A preliminary study was performed to identify irritant test article concentrations suitable for the induction phase of the main study. In addition, a suitable non-irritant concentration of the test article, by the topical route of administration, was identified for the challenge application.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
FAT 31064/F was considered to be not a sensitiser to skin.
Executive summary:

The skin sensitisation potential of FAT 31064/F has been investigated in a study conducted using Magnusson and Kligman maximation method as described in OECD Guideline 406. In this study, a group of guinea pigs containing 10 males and 10 females, received FAT 31064/F at 15 % concentration in the intradermal induction phase and at 25 % concentration during the epidermal induction phase. The day before epidermal induction, the application sites were pretreated with 10 % sodium lauryl sulfate as open application. Two weeks after the epidermal induction application the animals were challenged with the occluded epidermal application for 24 hours on the flank with FAT 31064/F (concentration 25 %) in ethanol and the vehicle alone. A second challenge was performed two weeks after the first challenge. 06/20 and 5/20 animals showed positive reactions at 24-hour and 48-hour readings, respectively, when treated with 25 % test article dilution. No positive reactions were evident with ethanol alone. In the second challenge, 5/20 and 4/20 animals showed positive reactions at 24-hour and 48-hour readings respectively when treated with 25x test article dilutions. No positive reactions with ethanol alone. The positive skin reactions observed in the test group were below 30 % threshold required for the substance to be assessed skin sensitiser. Hence, based on the findings of this study, FAT 31064/F was considered to be not a skin sensitiser.
