Materials and methods

Principles of method if other than guideline:
Method: variation of Magnusson and Kligman method
GLP compliance:
no
Type of study:
guinea pig maximisation test
Justification for non-LLNA method:
An LLNA study was not performed because there is an existing reliable study for skin sensitisation using the Guinea Pig Maximisation test method.

RANGE FINDING TESTS: Not specified

MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: Initially, 6 injections were performed (symmetrically and simultaneously). A week later, a topical induction was performed.
- Exposure period: A week
- Test groups: Not specified
- Control group: Not specified
- Site: Around the shoulder blades
- Frequency of applications: Initially, 6 injections were performed simultaneously followed by a topical induction a week later consisting of a 5% mixture in Vaseline, under a 2 x 4 cm piece of filter paper.
- Duration: The occlusive covering covered the site of topical induction for 48 hours
- Type of covering: Occlusive covering of watertight plastic and an elastic bandage.
- Concentrations:
2 x 0.1 ml Freund's Adjuvant (foremost two sites)
2 x 0.1 ml 5% aqueous solution of test substance (middle two sites)
2 x 0.1 ml Mixture (1:1) of 5% aqueous solution of test substance and Freund's Adjuvant (hindmost two sites).
As the concentration of the test substance is not clear, there is no evidence that this induction dose was irritating.

B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: One
- Day(s) of challenge: 14 days
- Exposure period: Appearing to be 21 hours (not clearly stated). 21 hours after the challenge, the area was re-shaved and remaining test substance was carefully removed with ether.
- Test groups: Not specified
- Control group: Not specified
- Site: 5 x 5 cm area around the flanks
- Type of covering: A 2 x 2 cm piece of filter paper, no occlusive covering appears to have been applied at this stage.
- Concentrations: 25 % mixture in Vaseline
- Evaluation (hr after challenge): 3 hours

OTHER: Areas were shaved or re-shaved prior to the application of the test substance.

1st application: Induction 5 % intracutaneous
2nd application: Induction 5 % occlusive epicutaneous
3rd application: Challenge 25 % semiocclusive
Positive control substance(s):
not specified

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
In a guinea-pig maximisation study (reliability score 2), not conducted according to any OECD Test Guideline and pre-GLP, HEDP (2-3Na) is not sensitising to the skin of guinea pigs.
