Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
no guideline followed
Principles of method if other than guideline:
The method is modified from Draize [17]. In the Draize test sensitization is induced by 10 intradermal injections of test material at the ICC given over a 3 week period, whereas in this method the equivalent total dose was administered on one occasion as 4 intradermnal injections, each 2.5 times the ICC.
GLP compliance:
not specified
Type of study:
other: modified Draize test

MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 1
- Exposure period: 14 days
- Test groups: 10
- Control group: 4 untreated
- Site: at 4 sites which overlie the 2 auxillary and 2 inguinal lymph nodes.
- Concentrations: 0.1 %; 0.1 ml aliquot


B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 2; intradermal injection of 0.1 ml 0.1 % (ICC) test material into one flank and a topical open application of 20 % (ACC) test material on the other flank
- Day(s) of challenge: 15, 22
- Control group: 4 previously untreated animals of the same sex and similar weight to the test animals were treated intradermally and topically on opposite flanks with 0.1 ml aliquots of test substance at the ICC and ACC respectively
- Evaluation (hr after challenge): 24


SCORING
- Reactions were examined under a Philips colour-matching unit.
- Each injection was given a total score based on size (2 largest diameters), erythema and oedema.
- Individual reactions were considered positive when their total score was significantly greater than the average total score for control reactions.
- Application reactions were scored on a 0 to +++ scale and individual reactions were considered positive if they were + or greater and there were no erythema reactions in controls:
