Guideline:
OECD Guideline 406 (Skin Sensitisation)
Qualifier:

RANGE FINDING TESTS:
Intradermal Induction-Range Finding
4 guinea pigs, each received four 0.1 ml injections of either 5%, 1%, 0.5% or 0.1% w/v in distilled water. Observed and assess 24, 48, and 72 hours and 7 days after injection. The highest concentration causing only mild to moderate skin irritation, and which was well tolerated systemically, was selected for the the intradermal induction stage of main study.

Topical Induction-Range Finding
Two guinea pigs were treated with undiluted test material and three preparations of the test material (75%, 50%, and 25% v/v in distilled water). An additional two guinea pigs were treated with four preparations of the test material (25, 10, 5 and 2% v/v in distilled water). Applications were made to the clipped flanks under occlusive dressings for an exposure period of 48 hours. The degree of erythema and oedema was evaluated 1, 24 and 48 hours after dressing removal. The highest concentration producing only mild to moderate dermal irritation was selected for the topical induction stage of the main study.

Topical Challenge-Range Finding
Four preparations of the test material (10, 5, 2, and 1% v/v in distilled water) wer applied to the clipped flanks of two guinea pigs under occlusive dressings for an exposure period of 24 hours. These guinea pigs did not form part of the main study but had been treated identically to the control animals of the main study, up to 15 days. The degree of erythema and oedema was evaluated approximately 1, 24, and 48 hours after dressing removal. The highest non-irritant concentration of the test material and one lower concentration were selected for the topical challenge stage of the main study.

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The test material produced a 0% (0 reactions / 10 animals) sensitisation rate and was classified as a non-sensitiser to guinea pig skin. The test material did not meet the criteria for classification as a sensitiser according to EU labelling regulatoins. No risk phrase is required.
Executive summary:

A study was performed to assess the contact sensitisation potential of the test material in the albino guinea pig. The study was performed in compliance with the OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals No. 406 "Skin Sensitisation" (adopted 17 July 1992) and Method B6 of Commission Directive 92/69/EEC (which constitutes Annex V of Council Directive 67/548/EEC).

Based on the results of sighting tests, the concentrations of test material for the induction and challenge phases were selected as follows:

Intradermal Induction:       0.05% w/v in distilled water

Topical Induction:              5% v/v in distilled water

Topical Challenge:              2% and 1% v/v in distilled water

The test material produced a 0% (0 reactions / 10 animals) sensitisation rate and was classified as a non-sensitiser to guinea pig skin. The test material did not meet the criteria for classification as a sensitiser according to EU labelling regulations.

Endpoint:
skin sensitisation: in vitro
Data waiving:
study scientifically not necessary / other information available
Justification for data waiving:
the study does not need to be conducted because the available information indicates that the substance should be classified for respiratory sensitisation or corrosivity
Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no adverse effect observed (not sensitising)
Additional information:

A study was performed to assess the contact sensitisation potential of the test material in the albino guinea pig. The study was performed in compliance with the OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals No. 406 "Skin Sensitisation" (adopted 17 July 1992) and Method B6 of Commission Directive 92/69/EEC (which constitutes Annex V of Council Directive 67/548/EEC).

Ten test and five control animals were used for the main study.

Based on the results of sighting tests, the concentrations of test material for the induction and challenge phases were selected as follows:

Intradermal Induction:       0.05% w/v in distilled water

Topical Induction:              5% v/v in distilled water

Topical Challenge:              2% and 1% v/v in distilled water

The test material produced a 0% (0 reactions / 10 animals)

sensitisation rate and was classified as a non-sensitiser to guinea pig skin. The test material did not meet the criteria for classification as a sensitiser according to EU labelling regultions.

Migrated from Short description of key information:
Sensitization test in Guinea Pigs (Magnusson-Kligman test) - not sensitising (0/10 reactions found).

Justification for classification or non-classification

No evidence of sensitisation (delayed-contact hypersensitivity) was found for 1,3 -BAC in an adjuvant-type test (Magnusson-Kilgmann test). On the evidence of this study, there is no basis on which to classify the test substance as a dermal sensitiser.
