Details on study design:
RANGE FINDING TESTS: The dose-levels for each of the three stages of this study were determined by a sighting study in which groups of two or four guinea pigs were used and up to four dose-levels were tested on each group of animals.

MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 2
- Exposure period: 48h for topical
- Test groups: Freund's Complete Adjuvant plus corn oil in the ratio 1:1; 10% w/v preparation of the test sample in corn oil; 10% w/v preparation of the test sample in a 1:1 preparation of Freund's Complete Adjuvant plus corn oil
- Control group: Identical procedure to that used for the test animals without the test substance
- Site: Intradermal: on each side of the midline of the animals back; topical: scapular area
- Frequency of applications: Day 1 intradermal, day 7 topical
- Concentrations: Intradermal: 10%; Topical: Undiluted

B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 1
- Day(s) of challenge: day 21
- Exposure period: 24h
- Test groups: Filter paper with test substance on shaved skin
- Control group: Filter paper with test substance on shaved skin
- Site: Right flank undiluted, left flank 30% in corn oil
- Concentrations: Undiluted and 30%
- Evaluation (hr after challenge): 48 and 72h


OTHER: The day prior to topical induction the application site was clipped and 0.5ml of a 10% w/v preparation of sodium lauryl sulphate (CTL Ref:Y00076/005, Sigma Chemical Company) in paraffin wax was applied in order to provoke a mild inflammatory response
Positive control substance(s):
yes
Remarks:
Hexylcinnamaldehyde
Positive control results:
Following challenge of previously-induced guinea pigs with undiluted hexylcinnamaldehyde, scattered mild redness or moderate diffuse redness was
seen in fourteen of the twenty test animals. The net percentage response was calculated to be 50% and hexylcinnamaldehyde was classified as a moderate skin sensitiser under the conditions of the test.

Diisobutyl Ketone (DIKB) is not a skin sensitiser to guinea pig skin and has therefore not to be classified according to DSD and CLP.

Interpretation of results:
not sensitising
Remarks:
Migrated information
Conclusions:
Diisobutyl Ketone (DIKB) is not a skin sensitiser to guinea pig skin (0% sensitization rate). Hence, no classification is required according to DSD and CLP.
Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no adverse effect observed (not sensitising)
Additional information:

Two reliable studies (Klimisch rating 1 and 2) in guinea pigs are available for DIBK. Both studies report no sensitization response in any of the tested animals. In addition, an invalid study reporting some sensitization effects (2 out of 5 animals) is available. However, the low number of animals used in this study does not allow to derive any definitive conclusions and the purity of the test material was only 65%.


Migrated from Short description of key information:
A GLP-studies according to OECD guideline 406 and a GLP-study according to the footpad method are available for diisobutyl ketone.

Respiratory sensitisation

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no study available
Additional information:

No experimental data on respiratory sensitization is available for diisobutyl ketone. However, based on the negative results from the skin sensitization studies it can be concluded that DIBK is not expected to have any respiratory sensitization potential.


Migrated from Short description of key information:
No experimental data on respiratory sensitization is available for diisobutyl ketone.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Pure DIBK did not induce sensitization in any of the tested animals. Hence, no classification for sensitization is required according to EU criteria.
