Induction was performed in two stages. First, the test material was intradermally injected with or without Freund's complete adjuvant on day 1. Then, after one week (day 8), the test material was topically applied under occlusive patch conditions for 48 hours.

The challenge was performed two weeks later by topical application in a non irritating concentration under the same conditions. The patches were then applied for 24 hours on the shaven side of the animals.

Positive control data have been taken from another GLP study T15929.

Findings in the induction phase

After intradermal injection, the common signs of irritation after injection of Freund's complete adjuvant were observed. The injection sites were swollen and red, later, scabs developed.

The challenge was performed on the right side ofthe animals

 

Group 1: negative control group

After challenge with polyethylene glycol 400, no erythema or edema were observed at the readings. A single treatment was performed with the test item (10 g/L polyethylene glycol 400) to

exclude primary irritation of the test material concentration. No positive reactions were observed in the treated areas at any reading.

 

Group 2: test material group (details, see Table 4)

After challenge with the test item (10 g/L preparation in polyethylene glycol 400) no positive skin reactions were observed at the readings.This results in 0 % positive reactions after challenge. After challenge, no positive reactions were observed in the areas treated with polyethyleneglycol 400 alone at any reading.

 

Clinical findings and mortality

The clinical behavior of the guinea-pigs was normal during the study period. All animals survived the study period.

 

Body weight

The body weight development did not differ from that of the animals of the vehicle group. All animals survived the study period.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The test material is not considered to be a sensitizer according to CLP-Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
Executive summary:

Study design

The test material was evaluated for skin sensitizing properties in. the guinea pig maximization test according to MAGNUSSON and KLIGMAN (1969).

5 Female guinea pigs in the negative control group (group 1) treated with the vehicles (liquid paraffin and ethylene glycol 400) and 10 females in the test material group (group 2) were investigated.

Induction included intradermal injection of test material preparation in liquid paraffin (50 g/L with and without Freund's complete adjuvant) on day 1, and topical application of test material preparation in propylene glycol for 48 hours (25 g/L) starting on experimental day 8.

Challenge by topical application of test material preparation in propylene glycol for 24 hours (10 g/L) was performed two weeks after topical induction. Readings were taken at 48 and 72 hours.
