Details on test animals and environmental conditions:
The test was performed on 10 male and 10 female guinea pigs in the test group and 5 males and 5 females in the control group, respectively, initially weighing between 330 to 390 g. The animals were housed i n d i v i d u a l l y in Macrolon cages (Type 3), assigned to the different groups by means of random numbers generated by the random number generator, identified by individual ear tags, kept at a constant room temperature of 22+/- 3°C, at a r e l a t i v e humidity of 30 to 70% and a 12 hours light cycle day.The animals received ad libitum standard guinea pig pellets -NAFAG No. 845, Gossau SG and fresh water. All batches of the diet are assayed for nutritive ingredients and contamination level by the manufacturer. Analytical results are available at the animal supply office. The drinking water quality fulfilled the critical parameters in the specifications of the "Schweizerisches Lebensmittelbuch" (Edition 1972). The results of the routine chemical examination of water at source (Grundwasserfassung Stein) as conducted periodically by the water authority (Baudepartement des Kantons Aargau, Abteilung Gewaesserschutz) are available to CIBA-GEIGY Limited, as well as the results of inhouse chemical analysis by the analytical laboratories of the Pharmaceutical Division, CIBA-GEIGY Limited.

Route:

Concentration / amount:
Intradermal induction:The concentration for the intradermal injections was selected on account of the solubility of the test article in standard vehicles and its local and systemic tolerability in a pre-test-adjuvant/saline mixture 1:1 (v/v)-5% of test item in physiological saline (w/v)-5% of test item in the adjuvant/saline mixture (w/v)The intradermal induction was administered into the neck regionEpirdermal induction:The concentrations of the epidermal applications were selected on account of the primary irritation potential of the test item. The following concentrations have been examined on separate animals for the determination o the maximum sub-irritant concentration: 10, 20, 30 and 50% in vaseline.Erythema reactions were observed with 50% of the test item in vaseline. 50% of the test item in vaseline applied on a filter paper patch to neck of the animals (patch 2x4 cm, ca. 0.4 g paste per patch, occluded administration for 48h)Challenge 30% of the etst item in vaseline applied on the flank (on a patch 2x2 cm, ca. 0.2g paste per patch, occluded administration for 24h) and vaseline alone

Details on study design:
The induction stage was performed in 2 weeks ( first week intradermal, second week epicutaneous). During weeks 3 and 4 no treatments were performed. At week 5 the challenge exposure was performed.Induction reactionsAfter the intradermal and the epidermal induction application irritant reactions are normally induced by the adjuvant and the high test article concentration. Because most of the reactions are treatment related and not compound related, the reactions are only described in special cases in the section of results. Twenty four and forty eight hours after removing the dressings, the challenge reactions were graded according to the Draize scoring scale (Appendix 1)The body weight was recorded at start and end of the test.
Challenge controls:
A control group of 10 animals (5 m/5 f) was treated with adjuvant and the vehicle during the induction period. During the challenge period the group was treated with the vehicle as well as with the test article to check the maximum subirritant concentration of the test article in adjuvant treated animals.
Positive control substance(s):
yes
Remarks:
potassium dichromate

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not sensitising
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: other: CLP regulation
Conclusions:
The test item was tested for skin sensitisation following OECD 406. Under the experimental conditions the test item does not show skin sensitising properties.
Executive summary:

The test item was tested for skin sensitisation following OECD 406. Guine pigs (10 males and 10 females) were tested with intradermal and epicutaneous occlusive induction at 50% of the test item (with adjuvant for the intradermal test, vaseline for the epicutaneous) in the first two weeks. At week 5 the challenge step was performed with an occlusive patch at 30% of the test item. Skin irritation was recorded, together with animals weight.

Under the experimental condition 5% at 24h after patch removal and 10% of the animals at 48h showed positive reactions.
