Description of key information

Skin sensitising potential in Guinea pig maximisation test.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Skin sensitisation

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
adverse effect observed (sensitising)
Additional information:

The substance was tested accordingo to OECD guideline 406 (Guinea pig maximisation test).

Test sample had 52.3 % purity and was identified as one of the main constituents of target substance. As no more analytical information on test sample was available, and considering that the other 2 constituents of target substance were very close to this one, i.e. obtained by hydrolysis of a sulphate group, experimental data was considered as reliable and representaive of target substance.

In the treatment group, 9/10 animals showed a positive skin response after challenge. As the percentage of animals with positive reaction is above the threshold of 60 % responding at 1 % intradermal induction, test substance is considered as potentially able to cause skin sensitisation.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Following the definition set out in the CLP Regulation (EC 1272/2008), a skin sensitiser is a substance that will lead to an allergic response following skin contact. According to Table 3.4.3, the sub-category 1A for the maximisation test is assigned when the response is ≥ 60 % responding at > 0,1 % to ≤ 1 % intradermal induction dose.

The test was conducted with an intradermal injection and a dermal application of 1 % and 25 % of test material, respectively. The allergic response was seen in 90 % of treated animals. Thus, the substance was considered as capable to induce allergic response and was classified as Skin Sensitiser cat. 1A (H317: may cause an allergic skin reaction).
