The test was performed on a total of 10 male and 10 female guinea pigs in the test group and 5 males and 5 females in the control group, respectively.
The test was started with the minimum number of animals (5 per sex for the test group and 5 of one sex for controls). After the challenge procedure, it was not possible to conclude if the test substance is a sensitiser or not and therefore testing in additional animals was performed to give a total of 20 test and 10 control animals. The initial weight of the animals was between 321 to 407 g.
The animals were housed individually in Macrolon cages (Type 3) , assigned to the different groups by means of random numbers generated by the random number generator, identified by individual ear tags, kept at a constant room temperature of 22+-3°C, at a relative humidity of 30 to 70% and a 12 hours light cycle day.

The animals received ad libitum standard guinea pig pellets - NAFAG No. 845, Gossau SG and fresh water.
All batches of the diet are assayed for nutritive ingredients and contamination level by the manufacturer. Analytical results are available at the animal supply office.
The drinking water quality fulfilled the critical parameters in the specifications of the "Schweizerisches Lebensmittelbuch" (Edition 1972). The results of the routine chemical examination of water at source (Grundwasserfassung Stein) as conducted periodically by the water authority (Baudepartement des Kantons Aargau, Abteilung Gewaesserschütz) are available to CIBA-GEIGY Limited, as well as the results of inhouse chemical analysis by the analytical laboratories of the Pharmaceutical Division, CIBA-GEIGY Limited.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
FAT 21015/B is not considered as a skin sensitiser in rabbit.
Executive summary:

A key study was performed to determine the skin sensitization potential of FAT 21015/B according to OECD Guideline No. 406 and on Annex V, Part B of Council Directive 67/548/EEC (Commission Directive 92/69/EEC of July 31, 1992). The test was performed on a total of 10 male and 10 female guinea pigs in the test group and 5 males and 5 females in the control group, respectively. The concentrations for the intradermal and epidermal inductions as well as challenge were selected on the basis of a preliminary study conducted to assess the primary irritation potential of the test article. 5, 50 and 20 % concentrations of FAT 21015/B were chosen for intradermal induction, epidermal induction and challenge, respectively. Main study was carried out as below

DAY 0: INDUCTION, intradermal injections

Three pairs of intradermal injections (0.1 ml per injection) were made simultaneously into the left and right side of the shaved neck of the test and control group animals.

Test group:

- adjuvant/saline mixture 1:1 (v/v)

- 5 % FAT 21015/B in 20 % propylene glycol (w/v)

- 5 % FAT 21015/B in the adjuvant/saline mixture (w/v)

Control group:

- adjuvant/saline mixture 1:1 (v/v)

- adjuvant/saline mixture 1:1 (v/v)

- 20 % propylene glycol

DAY 8: INDUCTION, epidermal application

In the test group FAT 21015/B was incorporated in Vaseline (w/w) and applied on a filterpaper patch to the neck of the animals (patch 2x4 cm; approx. 0.4 g per patch; occluded administration for 48 hours).

The control group was treated with the vehicle only.

Test group:

- 50 % FAT 21015/B in vaseline

Control group:

- vaseline only

DAY 21: Challenge

The test and control group animals were tested on one flank with FAT 21015/B in vaseline (w/w) and on the other flank with the vehicle alone (patch 2x2 cm; approx. 0.2 g per patch; occluded administration for 24 hours).

Test and control group:

- 20 % FAT 21015/B in vaseline

- vaseline only

Following the challenge, 20 and 10 % of the animals of the test group showed skin reactions 24 and 48 h after removing the dressings, respectively. Hence, based on the CLP (Regulation 1272/2008) criteria, FAT 21015/B is not a skin sensitiser.
