Induction

I.d. injections of FCA both alone and mixed with the TS elicited slight dermal irritation (data not shown). No dermal irritation was observed following i.d. injections of the TS (0.1% in paraffin oil) alone.

Reactions produced by the topically applied TS (5 % in paraffin oil) were obscured by the i.d. reactions which were still present at that time.

Challenge

no dermal irritation occurred on either flank of any of the test and control animals.

Interpretation of results:
not sensitising
Remarks:
Migrated information
Conclusions:
Under the conditions of this test the test substance did not show sensitising properties.
Executive summary:

The sensitizing properties of the test substance were investigated in a Magnusson & Kligman test according to OECD Guideline 406. Intradermal induction was performed with 0.1% v/v test substance while 5% v/v in liquid parrafin was used for topical application. No dermal irritation was observed following intradermal injections alone. Reactions produced by the topical application were obscured by the intradermal reactions which were still present at this time. The animals were challenged topically two weeks after the induction period using 0.5% v/v in liquid paraffin. No dermal irritation occured on either flank of any of the guinea-pigs during the challenge period. There was, therefore, no evidence of delayed-type skin sensitivity.

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no adverse effect observed (not sensitising)
Additional information:

In a Magnusson & Kligman test according to OECD Guideline 406, performed in twenty albino guinea-pigs, the test substance did not produce any evidence of delayed-type skin hypersensitivity.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the available experimental results the substance has not to be classified as skin sensitising according to Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.
