Details on study design:
Test substance concentrations (in 1 % aqueous carboxymethyl cellulose) selected for the main study were based on the results of a preliminary study. In the main study, ten experimental animals were intradermally injected with a 0.2 % concentration and epidermally exposed to a 50 % concentration. Five control animals were similarly treated, but with vehicle only. Approximately 24 hours before the epidermal induction exposure all animals were treated with 10 % SDS. Two weeks after the epidermal application all animals were challenged with a 50 % test substance concentration and the vehicle.

Any other information on results incl. tables

Based on the results of a preliminary study, the test substance concentrations selected for the main study were a 0.2 % concentration for the intradermal induction and a 50 % concentration for the epidermal induction exposure.

Since no signs of irritation were observed at the concentrations selected for the epidermal induction, all animals were treated with 10 % SDS (Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate) approximately 24 hours before the epidermal induction. A 50 % test substance concentration was selected for the challenge phase.

Induction phase:

The skin effects caused by the intradermal injections and epidermal exposure during the induction phase are given in the table. The reactions noted in two experimental animals after the epidermal induction exposure were considered to be enhanced by the SDS treatment.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
HAT S2 was tested for skin sensitization properties in the albino guinea pig maximization test. No skin reactions were evident after the challenge exposure in the experimental and control animals. This result indicates a sensitisation rate of 0 %. No classification and labelling for skin sensitization is necessary according to Regulation 1272/2008/EC (CLP).
Executive summary:

HAT S2 was tested for skin sensitization properties in the albino guinea pig maximization test.

No skin reactions were evident after the challenge exposure in the experimental and control animals. No evidence was obtained that HAT S2 had caused skin hypersensitivity in the guinea pig, since no responses were observed in the experimental animals in the challenge phase. This result indicates a sensitisation rate of 0 %. Therefore, HAT S2 can be regarded as not sensitizing
