MAIN STUDY
ANIMAL ASSIGNMENT AND TREATMENT
- Name of test method: The proliferation response of lymph node cells was expressed as the number of radioactive disintegrations per minute per lymph node (disintegrations per minute/node) and as the ratio of 3HTdR incorporation into lymph node cells of test nodes relative to that recorded for the control nodes (Stimulation Index).
- Criteria used to consider a positive response: The test item will be regarded as a sensitizer if at least one concentration of the test item results in a threefold or greater increase in 3HTdR incorporation compared to control values. Any test item failing to produce a threefold or greater increase in 3HTdR incorporation will be classified as a "non-sensitizer."
TREATMENT PREPARATION AND ADMINISTRATION:
For the purpose of the study, the test item was used undiluted and freshly prepared as a solution in acetone/olive oil 4: 1. This vehicle was chosen as it produced a suitable formulation at the required concentration.
The test item was formulated within two hours of being applied to the test system. It is assumed that the formulation was stable for this duration.
No analysis was conducted to determine the homogeneity, concentration or stability of the test item formulation. This is an exception with regard to GLP and has been reflected in the GLP compliance statement. - Positive control substance(s):

Introduction
A study was performed to assess the skin sensitization potential of the test item in the CBA/Ca strain mouse following topical application to the dorsal surface of the ear.
Methods
Following a preliminary screening test in which no clinical signs of toxicity were noted at a concentration of 100%, this concentration was selected as the highest dose investigated in the main test of the Local Lymph Node Assay. Three groups, each of four animals, were treated with 50 µL (25 µL per ear) of the test item as a solution in acetone/olive oil 4:1 at concentrations of 50% or 25% v/v. A further group of four animals was treated with acetone/olive oil 4: 1 alone.
Results
The Stimulation Index expressed as the mean radioactive incorporation for each treatment group divided by the mean radioactive incorporation of the vehicle control group are as follows:
25 % v/v in acetone/olive oil 4:1: Stimulation Index: 0.97, Result: Negative
50 % v/v in acetone/olive oil 4:1: Stimulation Index: 1.27, Result: Negative
100 % v/v in acetone/olive oil 4:1: Stimulation Index: 1.58, Result: Negative
Conclusion
The test item was considered to be a non-sensitizer under the conditions of the test.

- Conclusions:
- 1,2,4-Benzenetricarboxylic acid, mixed decyl and octyl triesters showed no sensitising effect on guinea pig skin under the described test conditions.
- Executive summary:
1,2,4-Benzenetricarboxylic acid, mixed decyl and octyl triesters was tested for dermal sensitisation in guinea pigs by the Magnusson and Kligman maximisation test according to OECD guideline 406 (12 May 1981).
The sensitising potential of 1,2,4-Benzenetricarboxylic acid, mixed decyl and octyl triesters was determined using a test group of 20 and a control group of 10 animals. All reactions, especially the formation of erythema and oedema, were assessed 48 and 72 hours after the challenge treatment. The maximum concentration which caused no dermal irritation in a prelinminary test was found to be 100% test substance (as supplied).
The following concentrations of test substance were used for the induction treatments: the test substance was employed in a 10% mixture with maize germ oil for the intracutaneous injection, while the 100% test substance (as supplied) was used for the dermal treatment.
The preliminary test showed that the undiluted test substance caused no dermal irritation. In order to induce slight to moderate dermal inflammation, 24 hours before the dermal induction treatment the skin in the injection area was pretreated with sodium dodecyl sulphate (10% in vaseline).
All FCA treated injections sites (diluted 1 +1 with maize germ oil), assessed 1 and 24 hours after intradermal induction treatment, showed severe erythema, edema and necrosis. The control animals had comparable signs of irritation at the injection sites.
The reactions to the dermal induction treatment for 48 hours were described as follows: 1 hour after patch removal, test and control animals showed erythema and edema in the whole application area, as well as inflamed or bloody lesions, the animals were restless and showed scratching in the application area. 24 hours after patch removal some animals showed erythema and eschar formation in the whole application area.
The first challenge treatment was carried out with the undiluted test substance (100%). No signs of dermal irritation were found on the test animals or the control animals 48 and 72 hours after the challenge treatment. No second challenge was carried out.
On the basis of these results, 1,2,4-Benzenetricarboxylic acid, mixed decyl and octyl triesters was assessed as having no sensitising effect on the skin of guinea pigs.
Referenceopen allclose all
There were no deaths. No signs of systemic toxicity were noted in the test or control animals during the test.
Body weight change of the test animals between Day 1 and Day 6 was comparable to that observed in the corresponding control group animals over the same period.

RESULTS OF TEST
- Sensitization reaction: 0/20
- Clinical signs: Local reactions after intradermal application (test and control animals after 1 and 24 hours): All FCA treated injections sites showed severe erythema, edema and necrosis. The animals treated with 10% test substance in maize germ oil showed well defined erythema and edema.
Local reactions after patch test (48 hours): 1 hour after patch removal, test and control animals: whole application area showed erythema and edema, as well as inflamed or bloody lesions, restlessness of the animals and scratching in the application area.
24 hours after patch removal: Some animals showed erythema and eschar formation in the whole application area.
Endpoint conclusion
- Endpoint conclusion:
- no adverse effect observed (not sensitising)
- Additional information:
In the key study according to OECD 406 to assess the sensitising properties of 1,2,4 -benzenetricarboxylic acid, decyl octyl ester a maximisation test in guinea pigs has been conducted with test concentrations of 10% (induction) and 100% (challenge). No evidence of skin sensitisation was observed in any of the treated animals.
In a supporting study a LLNA-test according to OECD 429 was conducted with the test item.
1,2,4 -benzenetricarboxylic acid, decyl octyl ester was considered to be a non-sensitizer under the conditions of the test.
Justification for classification or non-classification
The results of the sensitisation tests show that1,2,4-Benzenetricarboxylic acid, mixed decyl and octyl triestersdoes not need to be classified according to
EU regulations (Directive 67/548/EEC and Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
There are data lacking for the classification of 1,2,4 -Benzenetricarboxylic acid, decyl octal ester with regard to respiratory
sensitisation.
