Details on study design:

RANGE FINDING TESTS:
pilot experiment with 8 animals to determine which concentration of the test substance
- led to slight irritation after intradermal application (determination of the maximum compatible dose); concentrations tested: 0.01%, 0.03%, 0.05%, 0.1%, 0.5%, 1% and 5% (w/w)
- led to slight irritation after dermal application; concentrations tested: 0.3%, 0.5%, 1%, 3%, 5% and 10% (w/w)

MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
Intradermal induction (day 0)
- No. of exposure sites: 2
- Test groups: test substance
- Control group: vehicle
- Site: left and right back
- Frequency of applications: 1
- Concentrations:
0.1 mL FCA (mixed at a ratio of 1+1 in vehicle)
0.1 mL 0.01% test substance (or physiological saline in control)
0.1 mL 0.02% test substance (or physiological saline in control) + FCA (mixed at a ratio of 1+1 in vehicle)

Epicutaneous induction (day 8)
- No. of exposures: 1
- Exposure period: 48 h
- Test groups: test substance
- Control group: vehicle
- Site: back, same region as for intradermal induction
- Frequency of applications: 1
- Concentrations: 30% test substance (or 50% ethanol in water in control)
- Since the test substance is non-irritating, 0.5 g of 10% SDS (vaseline base) was applied on day 7

B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 1
- Day(s) of challenge: 21
- Exposure period: 24 h
- Test groups: 0.05 mL of the test substance soaked in the cloth portion of an adhesive plaster for patch test
- Control group: same as test group
- Site: lateral abdomen
- Concentrations: 0.5%, 1%, 3%, 5%, 10%, 30% test substance (w/w)
- Evaluation (hr after challenge): 3h, 24 h, 48 h

Challenge controls:

yes, vehicle only during induction phase

Positive control substance(s):

no

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

not sensitising
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: other: CLP, EU GHS (Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008)
DIMAPDO lactate is not a dermal sensitizer in this Guinea pig maximisation test.

Executive summary:

In a dermal sensitization study with DIMAPDO lactate 23 young female Albino Hartley guinea pigs (8 preliminary study, 10 in test group, 5 in control group) were tested using the method of Guinea pig maximization test equivalent to OECD Guideline 406 (1992). No positive control was reported.

Concentration selection was based on a preliminary dose range finding study:

intradermal induction: 0.01% in physiological saline

epicutaneous induction: 30% in 50% ethanol in water

challenge: 0.5%, 1%, 3%, 5%, 10%, 30% in 50% ethanol in water

One day prior to epicutaneous induction the sites were pretreated with SDS to create local skin irritation.

There were no signs of erythema or oedema in any dose group 3, 24 and 48 hours after patch removal. Therefore, DIMAPDO lactateis not a dermal sensitizer in this study.
