Details on study design:
Induction
Intradermal induction:
- 6 intradermal injections in groups of two per animal

Injections for the test group:
A) front row: 2 injections each of 0.1 ml Freund's adjuvant withaut test substance emulsified with 0.9% aqueous NaCl-solution in a ratio of 1 : 1
B) middle row: 2 injections each of 0.1 ml of the test substance formulation
C) back row: 2 injections each of 0.1 ml Freund's adjuvant 1 0.9% aqueous NaCl-solution (1 : 1) with test substance

Injections for control groups 1 and 2:
- The animais were given the same injections (A, B, C) but without test substance, only with the formulating agent.

Site of application:
- shoulder

Readings:
- 24 h after the beginning of application

Assessment of the skin findings:
- analogous to the pretest

Percutaneous induction:
- Percutaneous induction was carried out one week after intradermal induction

Amount applied:
2 x 4 cm filter paper strips were applied to the skin of the shoulder under an occlusive dressing (the bandage consists of rubberized linenpatches 6 x 4 cm from Russka and Fixomull® Stretch (adhesive fleece) from Beiersdorf AG). The filter paper strip was soaked in the test substance. Thus, the animais were exposed to about 0.3 g of the test substance.

- The control groups were not treated, since the test substance was applied unchanged and thus no solvent was used.

Duration of exposure:
- 48 hours

Site of application:
- shoulder, same area as in the case of the previous intradermal application

Readings:
- 48 h after the beginning of application

Assessment of skin findings:
- analogous to the pretest

Challenge
Test concentration: non-irritant concentration

Challenge 21 days after intradermal induction

Amount applied:
2 x 2 cm filter paper strips were applied to the skin of the flank under an occlusive dressing (the bandage consists of rubberized linenpatches 4 x 4 cm from Russka, test patch 5 x 5 cm of Idealbinde from pfälzische Verbandstoff-Fabrik, and Fixomull® Stretch (adhesive fleece) from Beiersdorf AG9 . The test filter paper strip was soaked in the test substance; thus the Animais were exposed to about 0.15 g of the test substance.

Challenge:
- treatment of the test group and of control group 1 with the test substance formulation (control group 2 remained untreated)

Duration of exposure:
- 24 hours

Site of application:
- intact flank

Readings:
- 24 and 48 h after the removal of the patch

Assessment of skin findings:
- analogous to the pretest
Positive control substance(s):
yes
Remarks:
1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not sensitising
Remarks:
Migrated information
Conclusions:
Based on the results of the study under the test conditions chosen, it was concluded that Asta-C15-Acetal (C15-Acl) does not have a sensitizing effect on the skin of the guinea pig in the Maximization Test. Thus, no classification is warranted according to Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 and EU Directive 67/548/EEC.
