MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 21
- Test groups: Open epicutaneous application of 0.1 mL of each test concentration (100, 30, 10, and 3 %)
- Control group: No treatment or topical (uncovered) application of 0.1 mL of vehicle (ethanol)
- Site: Clipped flank skin (8 cm2)
- Frequency of applications: Daily for 3 weeks or 5 times weekly for 4 weeks, usually on the same skin sites. When very strong skin reactions were provoked, the application sites were changed.
- Duration: Days 0-20
- Evaluation: Dermal reactions were recorded at 24 h after each application or at the end of each week and the minimal irritating and the maximal non-irritating concentrations were determined by an all-or-none criterion.

B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 2
- Day(s) of challenge: Days 21 and 35
- Test and control groups: Open epicutaneous application of 0.025 mL of minimal irritating and some lower primary non-irritating concentrations of the test material
- Site: Contralateral flank (2 cm2)
- Evaluation (h after challenge): 24, 48 and/or 72 h
Challenge controls:
Open epicutaneous application of 0.025 mL of minimal irritating and some lower primary non-irritating concentrations of the test material was performed on control animals during challenge phase.
Positive control substance(s):
not specified

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Under the test conditions, Methyl pamplemousse was found to be a non-sensitiser to skin of guinea pigs in an open epicutaneous test (OET).
Executive summary:

In an open epicutaneous test (OET), groups of guinea pigs were topically (uncovered) induced with 0.1 mL of Methyl pamplemousse at doses of 100, 30, 10, and 3 % diluted in ethanol and applied on clipped flank skin (8 cm2), daily for 3 weeks or 5 times weekly for 4 weeks, usually on the same skin sites. The application sites were changed if very strong skin reactions were provoked. At least 6 animals were used in each treatment group and 10 animals in control group. On Days 21 and 35, an open epicutaneous challenge application of 0.025 mL of all tested concentrations of the test material was performed on the contralateral flank (2 cm2) of the animals and the dermal reactions were recorded after 24, 48 and/or 72 h.

Under the test conditions, Methyl pamplemousse was found to be a non-sensitiser to skin of guinea pigs in an open epicutaneous test (OET).
