MAIN STUDY
ANIMAL ASSIGNMENT AND TREATMENT
- Name of test method: LLNA
- Criteria used to consider a positive response: Test to control ratio greater than 3.0 indicates a ‘positive’ result.

TREATMENT PREPARATION AND ADMINISTRATION:
Three groups, each of four animals, were treated with 50 µL of the undiluted test material (25 µL per ear) or the test material as a solution in acetone/olive oil 4:1 at concentrations of 25% or 50% v/v. A further group of four animals was treated with acetone/olive oil 4:1 alone.

Positive control substance(s):

hexyl cinnamic aldehyde (CAS No 101-86-0)

other: 2,4 Dinitrobenzenesulfonic acid, sodium salt at 1%, 10%, 20% in 1% pluronic F-68 in distilled water

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

Category 1B (indication of skin sensitising potential) based on GHS criteria

Conclusions:

The test item was considered to be a sensitiser under the conditions of the test. Based on the calculated EC3 value of 36.3% and the criteria of the CLP Regulation (EC3 value > 2%), the substance is classified as skin sensitiser category 1B (H317).
