Administrative data

Endpoint:
skin sensitisation: in vivo (non-LLNA)
Type of information:
migrated information: read-across based on grouping of substances (category approach)
Adequacy of study:
weight of evidence
Study period:
02 Dec 1992 - 07 Jan 1993
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: see 'Remark'
Remarks:
GLP guideline study, tested with the source substance CAS 67762-38-3. According to the ECHA guidance document “Practical guide 6: How to report read-across and categories (March 2010)”, the reliability was changed from RL1 to RL2 to reflect the fact that this study was conducted on a read-across substance.

Details on study design:
RANGE FINDING PRETEST
- Intradermal injection: the test item was injected at a concentration of 5% in aqua ad inject. and Freund's complete adjuvant (FCA) in each of 2 animals; skin reaction was recorded after 48 h. Since no skin reaction was noticed, 5% was found to be suitable for intradermal injection.
- Epidermal application: the test item was applied undiluted onto the skin of each of the 2 animals under occlusive conditions; skin reaction was recorded after 48 h. Since no skin reaction was noticed, 100% was found to be suitable for epidermal application.

MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 2
- Exposure period: Intradermal induction on day 1 and epidermal induction at day 8 (for 24 h)
- Test groups: 20 animals, treated with test item
- Control group: 20 animals treated with vehicle only
- Site: the scapular region of both sides
- Frequency of applications: once
- Duration: 3 weeks
- Concentrations: 5% dilution of the test substance in peanut oil was used for intradermal induction and 100% used for epidermal induction
- Pretreatment: skin was pretreated with sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS, 10% in vaseline) 24 h prior to epidermal induction

B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 1
- Day(s) of challenge: day 14 after epidermal induction (day 22)
- Exposure period: 24 h
- Test groups: 20 animals, treated with test item
- Control group: 20, treated with test item
- Site: one sheared flank
- Concentrations: 100%
- Evaluation (hr after challenge):24 and 48 h
