Test animals
- Species:
- guinea pig
- Strain:
- Hartley
- Sex:
- male
- Details on test animals and environmental conditions:
- Prior to use, all animals were acclimated for at least five days. Animals were individually housed
in wire mesh suspension cages. The animals were maintained on a 12-hour cycle light controlled
room, at a temperature of 64° - 79°F and a relative humidity of 30-70%. The animals were
maintained according to the recommendations contained in the National Academy Press 2011:
“Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals.” The animals were supplied Purina Guinea
Pig Chow and tap water ad libitum during both acclimation and test periods. Tox Monitor
Laboratories has daily access to feed analysis; water analysis from the city of Chicago is on file.
There were no contaminants in either the feed or the water that would be expected to affect the
outcome of this study.

- Details on study design:
- The irritation screen phase was conduicted to determine the irritation potential of the test substance. The irritation potential of the test substance at levels of 100%, 75%, 50% and 25% were evaluated in one group of two animals. Four levels of test substance were evaluated per animal. Dilutions of the test substance were formulated w/w in deionized water . The position of the different concentrations of the test substance on the animals was varied to adjust for possible site-to-site variation in response. The day prior to test substance exposure, the hair was removed from each of the animal's backs using a small animal clipper. Closed patches were applied to the animals in the following manner. A 0.4 ml quantity of each test preparation was applied directly into a 25 mm Hilltop Chamber®. The animals were held gently, and the chambers were applied as quickly as possible to the clipped left shoulder. The chambers were secured with Micropore tape and further secured with Kendall adhesive tape. Approximately six hours later, the tape and chambers were removed. Based upon the irritation screen results the test substance was dosed as 100% concentration for the induction phase of the study, and 100% concentration, the highest non-irritating concentration, for the challenge phase of the study.
Induction phase : The left shoulder of each test animal was clipped with a small animal clipper the day before exposure.The animals were held gently and the chambers were applied as previously described under the "Irritation Screening". Two additional induction doses were conducted following the same procedure, at weekly intervals After the last induction exposure, the animals were left untreated for two weeks (14 days) before primary challenge
Challenge phase: The same exposure procedure as for the "Induction Phase" was used, except the Hilltop Chambers were applied to a skin site that had not been previously exposed. Each animal received a single chamber of the test substance. The day following the primary challenge exposure all animals were scored as described under the “Observations” section. - Challenge controls:
- 10 animals - 6 was used as as controls and 4 were kept for a rechallenge if required.
- Positive control substance(s):
- yes

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- Following primary challenge test substance at 100% concentration, the incidence of grade 1 response or greater in the test group (0 of 20) was compared to that of the naive control group (0 of 6). The incidence and severity of these responses were not significantly greater than those produced by the naive control group indicating that sensitization had not been induced. Therefore, in accordance with the criteria set forth in the CLP Guidance’s, the test substance will not be classified for skin sensitisation.
- Executive summary:
Dermal sensitization potential of the test substatance was conducted utilizing a Buehler Technique Guinea Pig Sensitization Protocol. The test substance was evaluated for sensitization potential by applying 0.4 ml at a 100% concentration directly into Hilltop Chambers® and applying them to the clipped left shoulder of twenty albino guinea pigs in the following manner: The animals were held gently, and the chambers were applied as quickly as possible to the clipped left shoulder. The chambers were secured with Micropore tape and further secured with Kendall adhesive tape. Approximately six hours later, the tape and chambers were removed. Two additional induction doses were conducted following the same procedure, at weekly intervals. Two weeks after the final application the animals received a topical primary challenge dose (6 hour contact) of test substance at 100% concentration, on a naive site located on the right shoulder. Animals were scored for irritation at 24 and 48 hours after initiation of the primary challenge application. Ten guinea pigs served as a naive control group, and remained untreated through the induction phase. Six naive control animals received only the primary challenge dose, at a 100% concentration. The four remaining guinea pigs were designated for a re-challenge, if necessary.
Following primary challenge test substance at 100% concentration, the incidence of grade 1 response or greater in the test group (0 of 20) was compared to that of the naive control group (0 of 6). The incidence and severity of these responses were not significantly greater than those produced by the naive control group indicating that sensitization had not been induced. Therefore, in accordance with the criteria set forth in the CLP Guidance’s, the test substance will not be classified for skin sensitisation.
