Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not sensitising
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
No animal showed an allergic response, the test substance is not sensitising
Executive summary:

The test substance is a fine white powder and was tested regarding its skin sensitisation potential according to the stringent protocol of Magnusson and Kligman, in which adjuvant is used to elicit an immunologic reaction. The test protocol is in compliance with the OECD Guideline for the Testing of Chemicals No. 406 Skin Sensitisation.

The maximum compatible doses were determined in a pilot experiment. In the main experiment the test group of ten male and ten female guinea pigs of the strain "Dunkin Hartley" were treated intradermally with 0.1 ml of a 5 % concentration of the test substance in water; for the epicutaneous induction 25 % test substance in petrolatum was used. Because the test substance was not irritating at all tested concentrations, the treatment area was pretreated with 10 % sodium lauryl sulfate in petrolatum. A control group of further 10 male and 10 female animals were treated similarly – with the exception that they received only the vehicle instead of the test substance.

On day 21 of the application period the challenge application was performed on all control and test group animals. Again a 25 % concentration of the test substance in petrolatum was used. No symptoms of systemic toxicity or other toxic reactions were observed at any time during the study. Body weight development of the animals was positive and within normal ranges.

 In the challenge no visible changes of the skin (no erythema and no edema) were observed in the test group and in the control group at any time point; i.e. there was no positive challenge result. Thus, the sensitisation rate was 0 %.
