Any other information on results incl. tables

Irritations during the sensitization phase

Discrete or patchy erythema occurred sporadically in the treatment group after the first induction treatment. Discrete or patchy up to moderate and confluent erythema were observed in the treatment group during the sensitization phase after the second and third administration. The animals of the control group showed no signs of irritation during the sensitization phase.

Based on these results, a 20 % preparation of test item in deionized water was selected for the challenge treatment.

Dermal challenge treatment

No signs of irritation were observed in the control and the treatment group 24 and 48 hours after removal of the occlusive bandage.

Body weight gains and clinical signs

The body weight gains of the animals were not impaired. The treated animals showed no clinical signs of intoxication throughout the study. 0

RANGE FINDING TESTS

No signs of irritation occurred after administration of the different test concentrations.

Based on these results, 100 % test item was selected for the sensitization treatments.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: not classified, according to the CLP Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008
Conclusions:
Not skin sensitising
Executive summary:

Testing for the sensitizing properties of test item was performed in female guinea pigs according to the method of Burhelr, according to the OECD guideline 406.

Dermal induction was performed using 100 % test item moistened with deionized water. The control group was exposed to deionized water only. Challenge treatment was carried out with 20 % test item in deionized water. The validity of the test system is confirmed by the periodically conducted positive control test using alpha-hexyl cinnamic aldehyde for the Buehler test.

No signs of irritation were observed in the control and the treatment group 24 and 48 hours after removal of the occlusive bandage. Based on the results of the study, the substance showed no evidence for sensitizing properties.

Conclusion

Not skin sensitising
