Maximum concentration not causing irritation effects: 10% (w/v)

Interpretation of results:
not sensitising
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
There was no dermal response to challenge concentrations of 5% or 10% (w/v) of the test substance. The substance was not classified for skin sensitisation according to CLP criteria.
Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no adverse effect observed (not sensitising)
Additional information:

The substance was tested in two GLP studies (Pharmakon Europe,1993 and Safepharm Laboratories,1998) in absolute ethanol or arachis oil, respectively, using the guinea–pig Magnusson & Kligman Maximisation Test, with single intradermal (0.1% w/w or 0.5% w/w respectively) and topical (0.1% w/w or 25% w/w respectively) induction administrations one week apart, and a single challenge application (50% w/w or 5 and 10% w/w respectively) two weeks later. There were no positive reactions observed to challenge with the test material in any test or vehicle control animal.

 


Migrated from Short description of key information:
The substance caused no skin sensitisation response in the guinea-pig maximisation test using EEC Annex V test methods

Justification for selection of skin sensitisation endpoint:
Higher induction concentrations of the two available studies, and the vehicle appears to be more appropriate.

Respiratory sensitisation

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no study available
Additional information:

No study data are available for respiratory sensitisation. In the absence of skin sensitisation, respiratory sensitisation is not expected to occur. .

 

Justification for classification or non-classification

The available animal test data are reliable and suitable for classification purposes under regulation 1272/2008. The substance is not therefore classified for skin sensitisation under EU CLP criteria.
