Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 406 (Skin Sensitisation)
Deviations:
yes
Remarks:
no reliability check reported
GLP compliance:
yes (incl. QA statement)
Type of study:
Buehler test
Justification for non-LLNA method:
An LLNA study was not performed because there is an existing reliable study for skin sensitisation using the Buehler test method. Furthermore, the LLNA test method is not considered to be suitable for substances that contain silicon. Please refer to the attached document for further details.

Test material

Constituent 1
Reference substance name:
Viscous silicon preparation with ca. 4.5% mixture of triacetoxyethylsilane and triacetoxymethylsilane.
IUPAC Name:
Viscous silicon preparation with ca. 4.5% mixture of triacetoxyethylsilane and triacetoxymethylsilane.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
A well conducted, well reported Buehler sensitization test reported that a 100% concentration of the test material failed to induce a sensitization response in guinea pigs when challenged with the same neat test material. Appropriate concurrent negative controls were included, but the positive compliance test was to be undertaken at a later date.
