Conclusions:
During the study no signs of erythema and/or oedema were observed in treated and control animals. The test material bis(C12-C13)alkyl-2-hydroxybutandioate was considered to be not skin-sensitising in guinea pigs.
Executive summary:

An allergic sensitisation test was carried out on test material bis(C12-C13)alkyl-2-hydroxybutandioate according to OECD Guideline 406.

20 guinea pigs were used in the test, 10 as control and 10 were treated with the test material. The test consisted of 2 phases, an induction phase and a challenge phase. During the induction phase the test mateial was applied on the skin at a dose of 0.5 mL/animal. The dressing was left in place for 6 hours. The same operation was repeated after 7 and 14 days. The 10 control animals received the same treatment but distilled water was used instead of the test material. 28 days after the beginning of treatment a challenge phase was carried out on both groups of animals. 0.5 mL of test material was applied on the left flank of each animal and 0.5 mL of water was applied to the right side. The dressing was left in place for 6 hours. 24, 48 and 72 hours after the challenge phase began, all animals were evaluated.

No signs of erythema or oedema were found. Therefore the test material bis(C12-C13)alkyl-2-hydroxybutandioate was considered as non-sensitising to the skin of guinea pigs.
