Any other information on results incl. tables

No irritation and no signs of systemic toxicity were observed in any of the animals.

No mortality occurred and no clinical signs of systemic toxicity were observed in the animals of the main study. Body weights and body weight gain of experimental animals remained in the same range as controls over the study period.

All auricular lymph nodes of the animals of the experimental and control groups were considered normal in size.

No macroscopic abnormalities of the surrounding area were noted for any of the animals.

Mean DPM/animal values for the experimental groups treated with test item concentrations 2, 15 and 30% were 899, 780 and 584 DPM, respectively. The mean DPM/animal value for the vehicle control group was 911 DPM.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

The Murine Local Lymph Node Assay to assess the skin sensitization potential of Dilithium Adipate was negative. This finding does not warrant the classification of Dilithium Adipate as a skin sensitizer under the Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 on classification, labeling, and packaging of substances and mixtures (CLP).

Executive summary:

Dilithium Adipate was examined for its potential to be a skin sensitizer using the Murine Local Lymph Node Assay. Following a preliminary range finding test, 5 CBA mice were treated by dermal application of 2, 5, and 15% w/w Dilithium Adipate in acetone/olive oil (4:1 v/v) to induce sensitization. No indication of sensitization was noted. This finding does not warrant the classification of Dilithium Adipate as a skin sensitizer under the Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 on classification, labeling, and packaging of substances and mixtures (CLP).
