Details on study design:
1st application; intradermal induction:
Shortly before treatment the hair was removed from an area approx. 40 x 60 mm on the sholder region of each animal. A row of three injections was made:
a) Freud's Complete Adjuvant plus destilled water in a ration 1:1
b) 5 % w/w TPP in arachis oil
c) a 5% w/w formulation of TPP in a 1:1 preparation with Freud's Complete Adjuvant plus destiled water
Approx. 24 and 48 hours after intradermal induction the degree of erythema at the test material injection site was evaluated.

2nd application; topical induction:
On day 7 the same area was clipped again and treated with topical application of the test material (75 % w/w in arachis oil; occlusive epicutaneous)

3rd application topical Challenge:
On day 21 an area of approx. 50 x 70 mm on both flancs of each animal was ciplled free of hair and topicallytreated with 75 % and 50% w/w TPP in arachis oil (occlusive epicutaneous)
Positive control substance(s):
yes
Remarks:
2-Mercaptobenothiazole

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
not sensitizing
Executive summary:

A study was performed to assess the contact sensitisation potential of TPP in guinea pigs according to OECD guidelines study 406. Ten test and five control animals were used for the study. Two phases were involved in the main study; an induction of a response by intradermal injection and topical application and a topical challenge of that response. Based on sighting tests, the concentrations of TPP for the induction and challenge phases were selected as:

Intradermal induction: 5%w/w in arachis oil; Topical Induction: 75%w/w in arachis oil; Topical challenge 75 and 50%w/w in arachis oil. The results showed that TPP produced a 0% (0/10) sensisitisation rate and classified as a non-sensitiser to guinea pig skin.
