Description of key information

Skin sensitisation

Based on the result obtained from the studies available for the structurally similar read across chemicals, it can be concluded that the test chemical cannot cause skin sensitization and thus cannot be considered as skin sensitizing.

Executive summary:

The skin sensitization potential was assessed based on the available results from the various test chemicals.These studies have been summarized as below -

 

The skin sensitization potential of test chemical was evaluated using Guinea pig maximization test. The test chemical in induction treatment was subjected onto the skin of guinea pig by intracutaneous injections of 0.1 ml of 0.1 % aqueous solution three times per day for 5 successive days followed by one intracutaneous challenge injection of the same solution after 4 weeks of induction treatment. No skin allergic reactions were observed. Hence, the test chemical was considered to be not skin sensitizing.

 

The above study was supported with another skin sensitization study of test chemical assessed in a 16 year period study. In this study, the cosmetic use of test chemical did not cause a single case of contact allergy in humans within the 16 year period. Hence the test chemical was considered to be not sensitizing to the human skin.

 

Based on the result obtained from the studies available for the structurally similar read across chemicals, it can be considered that the test chemical cannot cause skin sensitization and thus cannot be considered as skin sensitizing.

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
