Maximum concentration not causing irritating effects in preliminary test: 50%

Signs of irritation during induction:

Intradermal 10% test substance concentration:

9/10 animals - Necrosis varying between 2 and 4 mm

1/10 animals - Erythema grade 2

Epidermal exposure 50%:

10/10 animals - Erythema

8/10 animals - Odema (varying between grade 1 and 2).

Evidence of sensitisation of each challenge concentration:

9/10 animals.

Interpretation of results:
sensitising
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The skin reactions observed in response to a 50% test substance concentration in nine (of the ten) experimental animals in the challenge phase were considered indicative of sensitisation, based on the absence of any response in the control animals. The substance is classified as a skin sensitiser.
Executive summary:

The test substance was assessed for skin sensitisation according to EU Method B6 in guinea pigs.

In preliminary tests, the maximum concentration not causing irritating effects was 50 %. During the test, the skin reactions observed in response to a 50% test substance concentration in nine (out of ten) experimental animals in the challenge phase were considered indicative of sensitisation, based on the absence of any response in the control animals.

The substance is therefore classified as a skin sensitiser.

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no study available

Justification for classification or non-classification

The test substance was assessed for skin sensitisation according to EU Method B6. Nine out of the ten animals tested had a positive reaction to the test substance at a 50 % concentration. The test substance should therefore be classified as a skin sensitiser in accordance with the criteria outlined in Regulation (EC) 1272/2008/EC (CLP) or Directive 67/548/EEC (DSD).

The substance is therefore classified as a skin sensitiser.

Based on Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 (CLP) the results would indicate that the tested substance is a moderate sensitiser, based on the criteria of ≥ 30 % animals responding at > 1 % intradermal induction dose. This would result in classificaiton in sub-category 1B. However, as the results have been read-across from a comparable substance, is substance itself will be classified as Category 1 and a sub-category not selected.
