Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Remarks:

not skin sensitizing

Conclusions:

Executive summary:

In a Magnusson & Kligman maximisation study (GPMT) performed according to OECD guideline 406 and in compliance with GLP, groups of 20 albino Dunkin Hartley guinea pigs were intradermally induced with three injections of 0.1 mL of FCA, 25% w/v TMPTMA in arachis oil and 25% w/v TMPTMA emulsion in FCA on Day 0 on shoulder region on each side of mid-line. After one week the same area were topically induced with 0.2 mL of undiluted test material via occluded filter paper patch for 48 hours. After 2 weeks of rest period, a challenge patch of 75 or 100% v/v test material in arachis oil was applied to left or right shorn flank, respectively. Control groups of 10 animals was included and treated with FCA, arachis oil or 50% w/v arachis oil in FCA. The test concentrations for the main study were determined from a sighting study using two animals.

 

Intradermal and topical induction indicated evidence of dermal irritation. No skin reactions were noted at the challenge sites of the test or control group animals at the 24 or 48-hour observations. TMPTMA produced a 0% (0/20) sensitisation rate and was considered to be a nonsensitiser to guinea pig skin. Historical data on positive controls (ethyl 4-aminobenzoate 98%; 2,4-dinitrochlorobenzene; neomycin sulphate; 2-mercaptobenzothiazole) exhibited evidence of sensitisation, thus confirming the susceptibility of this group of animals to dermal sensitisation.

 

Under these test conditions, TMPTMA is not classified according to the Annex VI to the CLP Regulation (EC) N° 1272-2008.
