Materials and methods
Test guideline
- Qualifier:
- equivalent or similar to guideline
- Guideline:
- OECD Guideline 406 (Skin Sensitisation)
- GLP compliance:
- yes
- Type of study:
- Buehler test
- Justification for non-LLNA method:
- The Buehler skin sensitisation test is a scientifically valid method for assessing skin sensitisation potential. As the data exists and is adequate for hazard assessment, performing a new LLNA test is not scientifically justified.

Positive Control: 10 guinea pigs - Details on study design:
- RANGE FINDING TESTS: Four guinea pigs from a previous shipment were randomly treated with four concentrations of the study substance (100%, 75%, 50%, or 25% in SMO). In the evaluation of the irritation potential, the 100% concentration produced no significant dermal response. Therefore, the 100% concentration was chosen as a reasonable induction dose and as an exaggerated human exposure.
MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 3
- Exposure period: 6 hours
- Test group: Induction group (20 animals)
- Site: Back
- Frequency of applications: once per week
- Duration: 3 weeks
- Concentrations: 0.4 ml, neat
B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 1
- Day(s) of challenge: 14 days post-induction
- Exposure period: 6 hrs
- Test groups: Induction group (20 animals)
- Control group: Naive group (10 animals)
- Site: back
- Concentrations: 0.4 ml, 75% in SMO
- Evaluation (hr after challenge): 24 hours with additional depilation and 48 hours without additional depilation - Challenge controls:
- a naive control group
- Positive control substance(s):
- yes
- Remarks:
- DNCB
Results and discussion
- Positive control results:
- The 0.05% w/v concentration of DNCB in acetone has been determined to be the highest non-irritating concentration for challenge. No skin irritation was observed during the induction phase. During the challenge phase, the positive control animals were considered to have been sensitized, based on the test criterion of a minimum of "+2" response for positively-responding animals.

Any other information on results incl. tables
At the 24 hour time point, 5 of 19 animals exposed to the study substance showed positive responses graded as 1 but at the 48 hour time point, 3 of 19 animals. Grade 1 responses were also observed in 2 of 10 naive challenge control animals at the 24 hour time point and 4 of 10 animals at the 48 hour time point. Because the responses were not more severe in the study substance exposed animals than in control animals, these were not considered positive responses. By comparison, 5 of 5 positive control animals exposed to DNCB had responses graded as 2 or more.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- not sensitising
- Remarks:
- Migrated information
- Conclusions:
- Based on the results at challenge, the study substance did not induce a sensitisation response in guinea pigs in this study. This finding does not warrant the classification of the study substance as a skin sensitiser under the new Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 on classification, labeling, and packaging of substances and mixtures (CLP) or under the Directive 67/518/EEC for dangerous substances and Directive 1999/45/EC for preparations.
- Executive summary:
Hartley Albino guinea pigs were dermally exposed to the study substance neat, 75% or 50% in Squibb mineral oil (SMO). For the challenge phase, the study substance concentration was 75% in SMO. Response grades, severity and incidence at the time of the challenge exposure for the study substance indicated no dermal responsiveness in the induction/challenge group above that observed in the naive challenge control group. Response grades, severity and incidence at the time of the challenge exposure for DNCB resulted in a significantly higher response in the induction/challenge group than that observed in the naive challenge control group. The animals were clinically observed five days per week and no treatment-related changes were noted. Based on the results at challenge, the study substance did not induce a sensitisation response in guinea pigs in this study. This finding does not warrant the classification of the study substance as a skin sensitiser under the new Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 on classification, labeling, and packaging of substances and mixtures (CLP) or under the Directive 67/518/EEC for dangerous substances and Directive 1999/45/EC for preparations.
