Details on study design:
MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 6 intradermal injections in groups of two per animal ((A) front row: 2 injections each of 0.1 ml Freund's adjuvant* without test substance emulsified with 0.9% aqueous NaCl-solution in a ratio of 1 : 1 (B) middle row: 2 injections each of 0.1 ml of the test substance formulation
(C) back row: 2 injections each of 0.1 ml Freund's adjuvant / 0.9% aqueous NaC1-solution (1 : 1) with test substance) and one percutaneous exposure 1 week after intradermal induction.
- Exposure period: percutaneous exposure: 48 h
- Test groups: 10 animals
- Control group: 5 animals
- Site: shoulder, same area as in the case of the previous intradermal application

B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: single percutaneous exposure
- Day(s) of challenge: 24 h
- Site: intact flank
- Concentrations: 2 x 2 cm filter paper strips containing the test substance.
- Evaluation (hr after challenge): 24 and 48 h after removal of the patch.

Positive control substance(s):
yes
Remarks:
Performed in a separate study twice a year in the laboratory with alpha-hexylcinnamaldehyde.

Results and discussion

Positive control results:
A positive control (reliability check) with a known sensitizer is not included in this study. However, a seperate study is performed twice a year in the laboratory. The positive control with Alpha-Hexylcinnamaldehyde techn. 85% showed that the test system was able to detect sensitizing compounds under the laboratory conditions shown.

x/y: Erythema/Edema

The intradermal induction with 0.5% test substance preparations caused slight to well-defined signs of skin irritation in all test group animals. After the percutaneous induction with a 10% test substance preperation incrustation, partially open (caused by the intradermal induction) could be observed in addition to well-defined erythema and slight edema in all test group animals.

After the challenge with a 2% test substance preparation the animals of control group1 (no application on animals of control group 2) and the test group animals did not show any skin reactions 24 and 48 hours after removal of the patches.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The intradermal induction with dimethyl piperazine with 0.5% test substance preparations caused slight to well-defined signs of skin irritation in all test group animals. After the percutaneous induction with a 10% test substance preperation incrustation, partially open (caused by the intradermal induction) could be observed in addition to well-defined erythema and slight edema in all test group animals. After the challenge with a 2% test substance preparation the animals of control group 1 (no application on animals of control group 2) and the test group animals did not show any skin reactions 24 and 48 hours after removal of the patches. Based on these results and according to the criteria laid down in the CLP Regulation, the substance is considered not classified as skin sensitizer.
