Remarks:
Several animals died or had to be sacrificed after the induction in the main study with no clear evidence that the mortality was treatment related. The remaining number of animals in the treated group at challenge is still compliant with acceptability current standards. Only one reading was done, at 24 hrs after challenge.

MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 1 intradermal injection (1%) and 1 epicutaneous occlusive application (50%)
- Exposure period: 48 hours for the epicutaneous induction
- Concentrations: intradermal injection (1%) ; epicutaneous occlusive application (50%)

B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 1 epicutaneous exposure
- Exposure period: 24 hours occlusive application
- Concentrations: 50% (w/w)
- Evaluation (hr after challenge): 24 hours
Challenge controls:
The control group (20 guinea-pigs) was treated similarly to the treated group, except the test material was replaced by distilled water.
A group of 10 guinea-pigs was treated with a positive control (DNCB: injection 0.1% (w/w) in propyleneglycol, topical induction: 1% (w/w) in propylene glycol, challenge: 0.05 and 0.025% (w/w) in propyleneglycol).
Positive control substance(s):
yes
Remarks:
Dinitrochlorobenzene (DNCB)

Any other information on results incl. tables

Maximum concentration not causing irritating effects in preliminary test: 50 %

Signs of irritation during induction: none

Evidence of sensitisation of each challenge concentration: None

Other observations:
5 test group animals were found dead 24 hours after the topical induction application of the compound and 1 was sacrificed due to very poor conditions.

There was no conclusive evidence from histopathological examinations that the test material was responsible for the deaths. There was no indications of infectious disease.

4 test group animals were sacrificed before challenge due to infected injection sites.

Thus, 10 surviving test group animals were submitted to challenge application.

Only one reading is described in the study report (at 24 hours).

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not sensitising
Remarks:
Migrated information not classified Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
There was no evidence of skin sensitising reactions in the 10 treated animals that survived challenge application.
Executive summary:

The sensitizing potential of the test item GM102E was investigated in a test performed on female Dunkin-Hartley guinea pigs according to the Magnusson and Kligman method. 

The test item was applied respectively at 1% (v/v) and 50% (v/v) in distilled water by intradermal and epicutaneous route for the induction exposure while epicutaneous route (occlusive) was used for the challenge exposure with a concentration of 50% (v/v) of test item. Those doses were decided after a range finding test.

For the test, 20 animals were used in the test group and another 20 guinea pigs were used in a control group. The lab provided background positive control data.

Positive controls produced the expected response: 10/10 reacted to 0.05% and 5/10 reacted to 0.025%.

Five test group animals were found dead 24 hours after the topical induction application of the compound and one was sacrificed due to very poor conditions. There was no conclusive evidence from histopathological examinations that the test material was responsible for the deaths. There was no indication of infectious disease. Four test group animals were sacrificed before challenge due to infected injection sites. 

Thus, 10 surviving test group animals were submitted to challenge application. None of these animals reacted positively to this topical application.

Based on these results and according to the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) or Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 on classification, labelling and packaging of substances and mixtures (CLP), GM102E should not be classified for sensitization.
