Additional information:

No study data with the test item is available for skin sensitisation. Therefore, a read-across to the read-across substance with a very similar chemical structure and comparable physico-chemical parameters is used to evaluate the potential for skin senitisation potential of the test item.


A study according to OECD TG 406 was conducted to evaluate the skin sensitisation potential of the test material. Female guinea pigs received intradermal induction with 1 % test item in sesame oil, while dermal induction and challenge treatment was carried out with 25 % test item in sesame oil. No systemic toxicity was observed and the mean value for body weight and the body weight gain were comparable between the treatment group and control group. Intradermal injections with Freund's Adjuvant (with and without test substance) caused severe erythema and edema as well as indurations and encrustations. The administration sites treated with the test substance in sesame oil showed slight erythema and edema. Intradermal injections of the sesame oil alone exhibited no signs of irritation. Due to these strong irritation reactions of the skin, 10 % sodium dodecylsulfate was not administered at day 7. Severe erythema and edema, indurated, scabbed and encrusted skin as well as necrosis were observed after dermal induction treatment at the sites previously treated with Freund's Adjuvant after the removal of the patches on day 10. The administration sites treated with the test substance or the sesame oil alone showed no signs of irritation. After the dermal challenge no skin reactions were observed in the control group 24 and 48 hours after removal of the occlusive bandage. Six animals in the main test group showed very slight up to slight erythema 24 hours after removal of the occlusive bandage. 48 hours after removal of the occlusive bandage all animals showed positive skin reactions ranging from slight erythema to intense erythema and swelling. Additionally, induration, dry, rough and scally skin were observed. Under the conditions of the present study, all of ten animals of the treatment group showed a positive skin response after the challenge procedure. Based on the results of this study the test item may cause sensitization by skin contact.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Classification, Labelling, and Packaging Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008
The available experimental test data are reliable and suitable for classification purposes under Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008. Based on available data on skin sensitisation, the test item requires classification for skin sensitisation potential Category 1 (H317: May cause an allergic skin reaction) according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 (CLP).
