ADMINISTRATION/EXPOSURE 
- Induction schedule: 3 identical inductions on days 0, 7, and 14:   
6 hour occlusive patch (left side), 0.3 ml undiluted; then removal of  residual test material   
assessment 30 hours after each administration
- Challenge schedule: day 28   two 6 hour occlusive patches (right side), one with 0.3 ml test  substance and one with vehicle   
subsequent removal of residual test material   
assessments 30 and 54 hours after administration
- Concentrations used for challenge: undiluted (100 %)
- Positive control:   2-mercaptobenzothiazol (2-MCBT, CAS No. 149-30-4) (not concurrent)  
Bühler test with 10 test and 5 control animals   
Occlusive epicutaneous induction with 50 % in petrolatum   
Occlusive epicutaneous challenge with 50 % in petrolatum
EXAMINATIONS
- Grading system: as usual for skin irritation, 0-8 scores possible
- Pilot study: dermination of slightly and not skin irritating  concentrations   
dermal concentrations: 5; 25; 50; 100 % w/w   3 animals each with 4 different concentrations (0.3 ml each) at  different sites   
6 hour occlusive patch test followed by removal of residual test  material   assessment of dermal reactions 30 and 54 hours after administration
- Additional (and identical except for increased body weights) pilot  study during week 4; reason: Increase in body weight might cause  differences in  skin sensitivity

Positive control substance(s):

yes

Remarks:

2-mercaptobenzothiazol (2-MCBT, CAS No. 149-30-4)

RESULTS OF PILOT STUDY: None of the applied test substance concentrations  caused primary skin irritation in any of the two 

pilot studies 30 or 54  hours after administration.
RESULTS OF TEST
- Sensitization reaction: No signs of skin irritation were observed in  the application areas of test and control animals 30 and 54 hours 

after  administration.
- Clinical signs: No signs of systemic toxicity were observed.
  1st, 2nd, and 3rd induction: No signs of skin irritation were observed  in the application areas of test and control animals 30 hours 

after  administration.
- Positive control: 3/10 test animals positive 30 hours after challenge,  no control animal positive
- Other: The overall mean body weight increase of 227 g (test group) /  217 g (control group) is in the expected range: no treatment

Remarks:

Migrated information

Conclusions:

Under the conditions of this OECD 406 study 3,3,5-trimethylcyclohexanone showed no dermal sensitization in female guinea pigs.

Executive summary:

The skin sensitizing properties of 3,3,5-trimethylcyclohexanone were assessed in a buehler test according to OECD 406. Twenty female guinea pigs were treated with 3 identical inductions on  days 0, 7, and 14 (occlusive epicutaneous) of undiluted 3,3,5-trimethylcyclohexanone. Ten control animals were similary treated, but with vehicle alone. Two weeks after the induction treatment all animals were challegend with undiluted substance and the vehicle. Under the conditions of this test the test item 3,3,5-trimethylcyclohexanone showed no dermal sensitization in female guinea pigs.
