Executive summary:

In the current study the capacity for allergic sensitization by the test item was determined by the intradermal test with Freund's Complete Adjuvant (FCAT). Ten guinea pigs were used and a control group was included in the study. Induction consisted of 5 intradermal injections of the compound mixed with Freund's Complete Adjuvant (FCA). Injections occured into the neck on days 0, 2, 4, 7 and 9.

The test group and the control animals were challenged epicutaneously on days 21 and 35 and reactions were read after 24, 48 and 72 hours.

No effects were observed. Under the conditions of the study, the test material exhibited no sensitizing potentialities.

Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
other: Open Epicutaneous Test (OET)
Principles of method if other than guideline:
During the induction phase 100, 30, 10 or 3 of the test item in ethanol is applied to the animals and left uncovered. Applications are repeated daily for 21 consecutive days. Skin irritation is evaluated at 7, 14 and 21 days. Challenge is done on days 21 and 35 on the contralateral flank (with 10% (minimal irritation concentration) and 3%) and left uncovered. Reactions were read at 24, 48 and 72 hours after application.
GLP compliance:
not specified
Type of study:
open epicutaneous test
Justification for non-LLNA method:
The method allows to determine the minimal sensitizing concentration necessary for inducing allergic contact hypersensitivity and the minimal eliciting concentration necessary to cause a positive reaction.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The substance is not skin sensitising.
Executive summary:

In an open epicutaneous test (OET) on guinea pigs the capacity of the test material to induce allergenic sensitization was assessed in 4 test groups of 6 animals and a control group. During the induction phase 100, 30, 10, and 3% of the test item in ethanol was applied to the clipped flank and left uncovered. The applications were repeated daily for 21 consecutive days. Skin irritation was evaluated at 7, 14 and 21 days. A challenge application was performed on days 21 and 35 on the contralateral flank. The minimal irritation concentration (10%) and some lower concentrations were used and left uncovered. Reactions were read after 24, 48 and 72 hours after application. The test material is considered allergenic at a concentration when at least 1 out of 6 animals of the concentration group shows positive reactions with non-irritant concentrations used for challenge.

No positive reactions were observed at any concentration, not after induction and not after the first or the second challenge. Therefore, the test material is considered not skin sensitizing in guinea pigs.
