Details on study design:
RANGE FINDING TESTS: The concentrations of test substance to be used at each stage of the main study were determined by 'sighting tests' in which groups of guinea pigs were treated with various concentrations of test substance. The procedures were as follows:
a} Selection of Concentration for Intradermal Induction
Four animals were intradermally injected with preparations of test substance (1%, 5%, 10% or 25% w/v in arachis oil). The highest concentration (up to a maximum of 25%) that caused only mild to moderate irritation and that did not cause systemic toxicity, was selected for the intradermal induction stage of the main study.
b) Selection of Concentration for Topical Induction
Two guinea pigs (intradermally injected with Freund's Complete. Adjuvant nine days earlier) were treated with the undiluted test substance and three preparations of the test substance (75%, 50% and 25% v/v in arachis oil).
The highest concentration producing only mild to moderate dermal irritation after a 48-hour occlusive exposure, was selected for the topical induction stage of the main study.
c) Selection of Concentration for Topical Challenge
The undiluted test substance and three preparations of the test substance (75%, 50% and 25% v/v in arachis oil) were applied occlusively to the flanks of two guinea pigs for a 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 Day 14. The highest non-irritant concentration of the test substance and one lower concentration were selected for the topical challenge stage of the main study.

MAIN STUDY

Conclusions:
The test substance produced a 0% (0/10) sensitisation rate and is a non-sensitiser to guinea pig skin
Executive summary:

A study was performed to assess the skin contact sensitisation potential of the test substance in the albino guinea pig. The method used followed the guidelines OECD 406 (Skin Sensitisation) and EU Method B.6 (Skin Sensitisation).

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

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

Intradermal Induction: 25% (w/v) in arachis oil B.P.

Topical Induction: Undiluted as supplied

Topical Challenge: 75% and 50% (v/v) in arachis oil B.P.

The test substance produced a 0% (0/10) sensitisation rate and is a non-sensitiser to guinea pig skin. The test substance is not classified regarding potential to cause sensitisation by skin contact and no symbol or risk phrase is required (93/21/EEC).

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no adverse effect observed (not sensitising)

Justification for classification or non-classification

There was no evidence of dermal sensitisation in guinea pigs. The substance does not need to be classified for skin sensitisation according to EU Classification, Labelling and Packaging of Substances and Mixtures (CLP) Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.
