A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
First induction, intradermal injection:
Three pairs of intradermal injections (0.1 mL per injection) were made simultaneously into the shaved neck of the guinea pigs as follows:
- adjuvant/saline mixture 1:1 (v/v)
- test article (1 %) in sesame oil
- test article (1 %) in the adjuvant saline mixture (w/v)

Second induction (one week later), epidermal application:
The test item (10 %) in vaseline (w/w) was applied on a filterpaper patch to the neck of the animals (0.4 g paste per patch; occluded administration for 48 hours).
The application sites were pretreated the day before with 10% sodium lauryl sulfate (open application).

Control group animals were treated identically in the absence of test item.

B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
Test and control group animals were treated (week 5) on the flank with the test item (10 %) in vaseline (w/w) and the vehicle alone (approx. 0.2 g paste per patch; occluded administration for 24 hours).
Skin reactions were scored 24 and 48 hrs after patch removal.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
No animal of the test group was sensitized under the experimental condition employed and therefore the test substance is regarded as not sonsitizing.
Executive summary:

In a guinea pig maximization test according to OECD guideline No. 406, 10 male and 10 female animals were first induced and then challenged with the test article to investigate its sensitization potential. Induction was a two-stage operation: first, three pairs of intradermal injections (1 % test substance in sesame oil) were made into the neck of the animals with a 1:1 mixture (v/v) of adjuvant and saline, the test compound in sesame oil, and the test compound in the adjuvant saline mixture. One week later, the test article was incorporated in vaseline at a concentration of 10% and applied on a filter paper patch to the neck of the animals (occlusive administration for 48 hours). Two weeks after the epidermal induction application the animals were tested on the flank with 10% test substance in vaseline and the vehicle alone (24 h occlusive application). Twenty four hours after removing the dressings the challenge reactions were graded according the Draize scoring scale. A second evaluation is made 48 hours after removing the dressings. A control group (10 males, 10 females) was treated with adjuvant and the vehicle during the induction period. During the challenge period the group was treated with the vehicle as well as with the test compound (at least 10 animals) to control the maximal subirritant concentration of the test compound in adjuvant treated animals. No animal of the test group was sensitized by the test substance, all skin reactions at 24 and 48 hour time points were scored 0. Therefore, under the experimental conditions of this study, the test material is non-sensitizing when topically applied to albino guinea pigs.
