main study
Induction exposure day 0, 7, 10
the fur on one flank was closely clipped with a hair clipper before the treatment day. On the treatment day 0.5 ml each of the test substance absorbed in a patch was attached to cover the test area and maintained using elastic bandage for 6 hours. in the control groups ( negative : distilled water; positive: DNCB) substances were applied in a similar manner to the test area. te same application as on day 0 was carried out on the same test area of the same flank on day 7 and again on day 14.
Challenge exposure: day 27
The untreated flank of treated and control animals were clipped on the day prior to the challenge patch application. To the treated and negative contol animals patches which absorbed 0.5 ml of the test substance were attached to the test area and maintained uling elastic bandage for 6 hours. In the positive control group DNCB was applied in a similar manner to the test area.
Approximately 21 hours after removing the patch of the challenge area the sites were wiped gently with gauze and the challenged sites and surrounding area was shaved. At 3 hours later the skin reactions were evaluated. An additional evaluation was made 24 hours later

1/20 animal in the treatment group was moribund with left hindlimb caught in bottom of the cage on day 25 and was sacrifced.

no treatment related mortality; no clinical signs, normal increase in body weight

Executive summary:

The study was conducted to evaluate the skin sensitisation of Azo zinc pigment complex - melamine compound according to OECD TG 406 under GLP condition using the Buehler test procedure in guinea pigs. Parameters measured during the study period were mortality, clinical signs, body weight changes and skin reactions. The follwing results were obtained:

1/20 animal in the treatment group was moribund with left hindlimb caught in bottom of the cage on day 25 and was sacrifced.

No treatment-related mortality or clinical signs were observed during the study period

All living animals showed a normal increase in body weight

At the 24 and 48 hours after challenge with the test substance of 25 % there was no skin reaction seen in any of the test guinea pigs as seen in the negative control animals. The positive control (DNCB) animals (8/10) showed significant erythema

Thus, this result indicates that Azo zinc pigment complex - melamine compound is considered to have no skin sensitising potency in guinea pigs by Bühler test under the conditions of the study.

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no adverse effect observed (not sensitising)
Additional information:

The study was conducted to evaluate the skin sensitisation of Azo zinc pigment complex - melamine compound according to OECD TG 406 under GLP condition using the Buehler test procedure in guinea pigs. Parameters measured during the study period were mortality, clinical signs, body weight changes and skin reactions. The following results were obtained:

1/20 animal in the treatment group was moribund with left hindlimb caught in bottom of the cage on day 25 and was sacrificed.

No treatment-related mortality or clinical signs were observed during the study period

All living animals showed a normal increase in body weight

At the 24 and 48 hours after challenge with the test substance of 25 % there was no skin reaction seen in any of the test guinea pigs as seen in the negative control animals. The positive control (DNCB) animals showed significant erythema.

Thus, this result indicates that Azo zinc pigment complex - melamine compound is considered to have no skin sensitising potency in guinea pigs by Bühler test under the conditions of the study.


Migrated from Short description of key information:
Azo zinc pigment complex - melamine compound is considered to have no skin sensitising potency in guinea pigs by Bühler test under the conditions of the study.

Justification for selection of skin sensitisation endpoint:
This is the only available study which is performed according to OECD TG 406 under GLP conditions (Bühler test) therefore this study is evaluated with Klimisch score 1

Respiratory sensitisation

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no study available

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the results of the skin sensitizing test no classification or labelling is required
