Reference
Endpoint:
skin sensitisation: in vivo (non-LLNA)
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
23.07.1984 to 27.08.1984
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
comparable to guideline study
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 406 (Skin Sensitisation)
GLP compliance:
yes
Type of study:
guinea pig maximisation test
Justification for non-LLNA method:
An LLNA study was not performed because there is an existing reliable study for skin sensitisation using the Guinea Pig Maximisation test method. Furthermore, the LLNA test method is not considered to be suitable for substances that contain silicon. Please refer to the attached document for further details.

Additional information:

In the key skin sensitisation study (GMPT) (Institut für Toxikologie der Bayer AG , 1985) albino guinea pigs were tested appropriately and in accordance with OECD test guideline 406, and to GLP. A preliminary test was conducted to determine irritancy and the concentrations to be used in the main study. Paraffin oil was used as the vehicle. In the main study 20 guinea pigs were tested with 1% D4 in paraffin oil in the first induction, and 100% D4 in the second induction. 100% and 10% (in paraffin oil) were used in the challenge phase under occlusive conditions. Ten negative control animals received the same treatment, but without D4. Evaluation of skin reactions were made at 48, 72 and 96 hours after challenge. Skin reactions in the test and control groups were all scored as zero, and therefore under the conditions of this study, D4 was not a skin sensitizer.

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no study available

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the available in vivo skin sensitisation data D4 does not require classification for sensitisation according toRegulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.
