Description of key information

The key skin sensitisation study, conducted according to OECD Test Guideline 406 and in compliance with GLP, concluded the registered substance, N-[3-(dimethoxymethylsilyl)propyl]ethylenediamine (CAS No. 3069-29-2, EC No. 221-336-6), to be a skin sensitiser (Safepharm Laboratories Ltd, 1988). 19/20 test animals showed positive responses at both 24 and 48-hour readings.

Reference
Endpoint:
skin sensitisation: in vivo (non-LLNA)
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
08/01/1988-12/02/1988
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 406 (Skin Sensitisation)
GLP compliance:
yes (incl. QA statement)
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.

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
adverse effect observed (sensitising)
Additional information:

The key skin sensitisation study is the only available study for this endpoint. The study was conducted according to OECD Test Guideline 406 and in compliance with GLP.

Twenty test and ten control animals were used for the main study. Following sighting studies, the following concentrations were used in the induction and challenge phases:

Intradermal Induction: 0.1% (w/w) in distilled water

Topical Induction: undiluted as supplied

Topical Challenge: undiluted as supplied

The test material produced a 95 % (19/20) sensitisation rate and was concluded to be sensitising to guinea pig skin.

A supporting skin sensitisation test for the analogue substance N-(3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl)ethylenediamine (CAS No. 1760-24-3, EC No. 217-164-6) is included only to support the read-across justification for the genetic toxicity endpoint currently using this analogue substance.

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no study available

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the available information, N-[3-(dimethoxymethylsilyl)propyl]ethylenediamine is classified for skin sensitisation Category 1A, H317: "May cause an allergic skin reaction" according to Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.
