Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 1 (skin sensitising) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
Challenging epicutaneous tests with non toxic alcoholic solutions of test chemical, 3 and 5 weeks after the first intradermal injection were positive in 7 out 7 animals with the 10% solution, (the highest non irritant concentration), in 4 out of 7 animals with the 3% solution and in 2 out of 7 animals with the 1% solution.
Therefore,the test chemical was considered to be one of the moderate to strong intradermal sensitizers for the guinea pig in the FCAT and hence classified as skin sensitiser in category 1 as per CLP classification criteria.
Executive summary:

Capacity for allergic sensitization of the test chemical was determined by the intradermal test With Freund's Complete Adjuvant (Fact) on Guinea pigs.

0.05 ml of the compound (undiluted, diluted or suspended) was mixed with the same volume of FCA were injected intradermally into the neck on days 0,2,4,7 and 9 (total dose approx.250 mg).The experimental animals and controls, treated with 0.05 ml of FCA only, were tested epicutaneously on days 21 and 35.These tests were performed by applying 0.025 ml of each test concentration to skin areas measuring 2 cm2. The reactions were read after 24, 48, and 72 hours.

Challenging epicutaneous tests with non toxic alcoholic solutions of test chemical, 3 and 5 weeks after the first intradermal injection were positive in 7 out 7 animals with the 10% solution, (the highest non irritant concentration), in 4 out of 7 animals with the 3% solution and in 2 out of 7 animals with the 1% solution.

Therefore,the test chemical was considered to be one of the moderate to strong intradermal sensitizers for the guinea pig in the FCAT and hence classified as skin sensitiser in category 1 as per CLP classification criteria.
