- INTRADERMAL INDUCTION (Day 0)
A 4x6 cm area of the back shoulders of each guinea pig was carefully clipped. Each guinea pig (test and control groups) received three pairs of intradermal injections (one of each pair situated on each side of the midline) of 0.1 mL of the appropriate concentrations (see box labelled "Concentration").
TOPICAL INDUCTION (Day 7)
Since no effect was noted with a 100% concentration of the test material in a prior preliminary dermal irritation test, an application of 10% sodium lauryl sulfate in vaseline was applied over the newly clipped area injection sites of each animal 24 hours prior to the topical induction phase to induce a local irritation reaction. One week after the intradermal injections, filter paper ( 2x4 cm) was loaded with 100% of the test material and applied to the application site of each test animal and held in contact by an occlusive dressing (5x3 cm patch) for a period of 48 hours. For control animals, only water was applied to the application sites, in a similar manner as the test animals.
CHALLENGE (Day 21)
The left flanks of treated and control animals were cleared of hair. Two to three hours later, each animal received filter paper (2x2 cm) fully loaded with 100% of the test material under an occlusive dressing for a period of 24 hours. Skin reactions were scored 24 and 48 hours after patch removal. The skin of the application sites was clipped 2 to 3 hours prior to the challenge readings.
BODY WEIGHTS
Body weights were recorded weekly. - Challenge controls:
- Ten guinea pigs assigned to a control group received exposure doses of vehicle or test material as described in details on study design.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- not sensitising
- Remarks:
- Migrated information
- Conclusions:
- Tertiary butyl alcohol is not classified as a skin sensitizer in female guinea pigs when tested in the Guinea Pig Maximization Test (GPMT) of Magnusson and Kligman.
Based on an absence of positive effects in this study, tertiary butyl alcohol is not classifiable for Skin Sensitization according to GHS. - Executive summary:
In a Guinea Pig Maximization Test for skin sensitization, a group of 20 female guinea pigs was exposed to undiluted tertiary butyl alcohol. Under the conditions of this study, a concentration of 100% tertiary butyl alcohol at challenge did not cause a sensitization reaction after prior intradermal exposures of 1% and topical exposures of 100% tertiary butyl alcohol.
