Details on study design:
RANGE FINDING TESTS: various concentrations of the test material were tested in groups of 2 animals to determine the concentrations causing slight to moderate irritation for the intradermal and epicutaneous inductions and a non-irritant level for the epicutaneous challenge. Concentrations tested were: intradermal injections (0.1 ml) 3, 10, 30 and 100%.; epicutaneous application 30 and 100%

MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
Epidermal injection:
- No. of exposures: 1
- Test groups: 3 pairs of injections (0.1 ml) - 1:1 Freund's Complete Adjuvant:saline; test material in saline; test material in 1:1 Freund's Complete Adjuvant:saline;
- Control group: 1:1 Freund's Complete Adjuvant:saline; saline; 1:1 Freund's Complete Adjuvant:saline
- Site: shoulder region
- Frequency of applications: once
- Duration: day 1
- Concentrations: 30%

Epicutaneous application:
- No. of exposures: 1
- Exposure period: 48 hours
- Test groups: test material in saline
- Control group: untreated patch
- Site: over the sites of the intradermal injections
- Frequency of applications: once
- Duration: day 8-10 (after application of a 10% dilution of sodium lauryl sulphate in Vaseline on day 7)
- Concentrations: 100%

B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 1
- Day(s) of challenge: day 22
- Exposure period: 24 hours
- Test groups: right flank treated with test material
- Control group: right flank treated with test material
- Site: right flank
- Concentrations: 100%
- Evaluation (hr after challenge): 24 and 48 hr
Challenge controls:
Control animals were injected with saline instead of the test material; for the topical induction period they received an untreated patch; challenged with the test material at the same concentration as the test group
Positive control substance(s):
yes
Remarks:
not tested concurrently, but at approximately 6-month intervals

Study design: in vivo (LLNA)

Positive control substance(s):
other: formaldehyde
Statistics:
not applicable

Results and discussion

Positive control results:
The challenge treatment with a 10% test dilution of formaldehyde (37%) elicited a positive skin reaction in the majority of test animals, but there were no skin reactions in the control animals.

Any other information on results incl. tables

RESULTS OF PILOT STUDY:

Intradermal - no irritation at test sites with 3,10 or 30% solutions in saline. The undiluted material caused abscesses, necrosis and incrustation. 

Topical - no irritation at either 30 or 100%.


MAIN TEST:
- Clinical signs of irritation after induction by injection: moderate erythema in treated and controls receiving FCA/saline, and controls receiving FCA/vehicle (grade 2), intense  erythema and swelling with necrosis and incrustation in test animals with test substance/FCA.

- Rechallenge: Not required

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not sensitising
Remarks:
Migrated information
Conclusions:
In a reliable study, conducted to OECD guideline 406, Compound 33A (C10-16 alcohols Type B) was not a skin sensitiser when tested using a 100% challenge dose in a guinea pig maximization test. The study was performed to GLP.

Classification: not sensitizing
