Details on study design:
RANGE FINDING TESTS:
A preliminary study was carried out to dertermine the MNIC. Three guinea pigs were treated with concentrations of 100%, 75%, 50%, and 25% of test substance in liquid paraffin. Application was performed epicutaneously under occlusive dressing for 6 hours. Cutaneous reaction was determined 24h and 48h after removal of occlusive dressings. No irritating skin reaction could be found at all test concentrations. In view of these results, the concentration selected was 100% for the 3 inductions of the main study and the concentration selected was 100% (MNIC) for the challenge phase.

MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 3
- Exposure at D0, D7, D14
- Site: Scapular zone
- Duration: 6h under occlusive dressing (50 x 25mm gauze patches hydrophilic Codex of 8-layer Gazin from Lohmann & Rauscher held in contact with the skin by means of 50mm wide hypoallergenic micropore adhesive tape from 3M and Blenderm from 3M)
- Concentrations: 100% test substance (treated group), liquid paraffin (control group)

B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 1
- Day of challenge: D28
- Exposure period: 6h under occlusive dressing (50 x 25mm gauze patches hydrophilic Codex of 8-layer Gazin from Lohmann & Rauscher held in contact with the skin by means of 50mm wide hypoallergenic micropore adhesive tape from 3M and Blenderm from 3M)
- Concentrations: 100% test substance (MNIC) on the left flank or 0% test substance in liquid paraffin on the right flank
- Evaluation (hr after challenge): 24h, 48h after removal of occlusive dressing

Grading was perfomed according to OECD 406:
0 = No visible change
1 = Discrete or patchy erythema
2 = Moderate and confluent erythema
3 = Intense erythema and swelling

The number of animals showing visible cutaneous reactions were determined and recorded at 24 and 48 hours after challenge.
The classification "sensitising" results if at least 15% of test animals showed cutaneous reactions at the time of evaluation. The evaluation is based on the criteria of the OECD Harmonized Integrated Classification System in place on the date of report signature.

Induction phase:

No cutaneous reaction was recorded 24 hours after each induction in the treated group. No cutaneous reaction was recorded during the induction phase in the control group.

Challenge phase:

In the treated group (treatment concentration 100% of test item), a discrete erythema was noted in only one animal (1/20) at the reading time 24 hours. No macroscopic cutaneous reactions attributable to allergy were observed 48 hours after the removal of the occlusive dressing.

In the negative control group (treatment concentration of 100% liquid paraffin during induction phase and treatment concentration 100% of test item during challenge phase), no cutaneous reactions were observed at 24 or 48 hours after removal of occlusive dressing.

No cutaneous reaction was recorded in animals from the treated and control groups after the challenge phase, on the area treated with liquid paraffin (vehicle).

The animals showed normal weight gain during the time of the study.
