Any other information on results incl. tables

No animal died during the study. No signs of systemic toxicity were noted during the study. Body weight gain of the test animals was comparable to controls.


Following intradermal injections using FCA erythema, oedema, nectotizing, dermatitis, encrustation and exfoliation of encrustation were noted in both test and control animals. All these findings are considered common for FCA treated skin.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
In a Maximization study, performed according to OECD/EC guidelines, Cyromazine showed no sensitization potential when applied to guinea pigs as a 50% preparation.
Executive summary:

The skin sensitization potential of cyromazine, was tested on Himalayan spotted (GOHI) guinea pigs. No animal died during the study nor signs of systematic toxicity were observed. Following intradermal injections using FCA, erythema, oedema, nectotizing, dermatitis, encrustation and exfoliation of encrustation were noted in both test and control animals. All these findings are considered common for FCA treated skin. No skin reactions were noted following either induction topical or challenge applications. In summary, Cyromazine induced no sensitization when applied to guinea pigs as a 50% preparation in 0.5% CMC and 0.1% Tween 80 in bi-distilled water under the conditions of this study (Maximization Test).
