Endpoint:
skin sensitisation: in vivo (non-LLNA)
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: Comparable to guidelines with acceptable restrictions (no concurrent nor historical positive controls, no data on substance purity)

Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
equivalent or similar to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 406 (Skin Sensitisation)
Deviations:
yes
Remarks:
(no concurrent nor historical positive controls, no data on substance purity)
GLP compliance:
yes
Type of study:
guinea pig maximisation test
Justification for non-LLNA method:
A well-conducted and fully reported sens study conducted in 1987 is available that can be used for the purposes of classification and labelling as well as risk assessment. Conducting further testing is not considered adequate.

Any other information on results incl. tables

One test animal was not included in the final assessment as the bandage had slipped during the challenge application (no erythema was seen on this animal.

 

3/19 animals of the test substance group (approx.16%) was regarded as sensitized. This is below the threshold of 30% required for classification according to the 67/548/EEC Annex VI.
