- Details on study design:
- RANGE FINDING TESTS:
Based on the results of a preliminary study a 25% dilution of the test substance in paraffin oil was used for intradermal induction and the undiluted (100%) substance was used for the epidermal induction exposure. The undiluted test substance was found to be slightly irritating upon dermal application.
A 50% test substance concentration was selected for the challenge phase as the maximum non-irritant dose upon dermal exposure for 24 h under occlusive dressing.
MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 2
- Exposure period: Intradermal induction on day 1. On day 7 a local irritation was induced using 0.5 mL of a 10 % sodium laurylsulphate in vaseline. On day 8 a epidermal induction was performed with 0.5 mL vehicle or 0.5 mL test substance. The dermal applications were held in place for 48 hours under occlusive dressing.
- Test groups: 20 animals, TS
- Control group: 10 animals treated with vehicle only
- Site: the scapular region of both sides
- Concentrations: 0.1 mL of 25% dilution of the test substance in paraffin oil was used for intradermal induction and 0.5 mL of the undiluted (100%) test substance was used for epidermal induction
- Duration: 10 days
B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 1
- Day(s) of challenge: 12 days after the last induction treatment
- Exposure period: 24 h under occlusive dressing
- Test groups: 20 animals, TS
- Control group: 10, treated analogous to the test groups
- Site: the right flank was treated with the test substance; the left flank was treated with vehicle.
- Concentrations: 0.5 mL of a 50% solution in paraffin oil
- Evaluation (hr after challenge):24 and 48 h after removal of the dressing - Positive control substance(s):
- no

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- not sensitising
- Remarks:
- Migrated information Under the given conditions the test substance was not sensitising to guinea pig skin.
- Executive summary:
A Guinea pig maximization test was performed according to OECD Guideline 406. 20 test and 10 control animals (Dunkin-Hartley guinea pigs) were challenged with a 50 % test substance solution in paraffin oil. 24 and 48 hours after termination of challenge exposure skin readings revealed no indications for a skin sensitising potential of Fatty acids, C16-18, 2-ethylhexyl esters.
