- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- Isopropyl alcohol did not induce sensitization in the guinea pig model.
- Executive summary:
One group of 20 test animals was treated with undiluted Isopropyl alcohol for a period of 6 hours weekly for 3 induction exposures. The test animals and control animals were challenged with undiluted Isopropyl alcohol. No skin reactions were observed in the test and control animals therefore, it was concluded that Isopropyl alcohol is not a sensitizer.

Endpoint conclusion
- Endpoint conclusion:
- no adverse effect observed (not sensitising)
- Additional information:
The skin sensitisation potential of propan-2-ol was assessed in a study performed according to OECD Test Guideline 406 and in compliance with GLP in male and female Hartley guinea pigs (Hill Top Research, Inc, 1980). In the study, 10 animals/sex comprised the propan-2-ol test group and 5 animals/sex comprised the control group. The epicutaneous induction was carried out with 0.4 mL of undiluted propan-2-ol (100% w/w) at the upper left quadrant of the back of the test group animals (3 induction exposures during 3 weeks, each exposure for 6 hours with Webril patches under occlusion). The challenge exposure also was conducted with 0.4 mL of undiluted propan-2-ol at the lower left quadrant of the back of the test group and control group animals. Skin reactions were observed and recorded 1 hour after dermal induction and 24 and 48 hours after the challenge exposure. No positive skin reactions were observed in all animals 24 or 48 hours after challenge. Under the experimental conditions and according to the epicutaneous method of Buehler, no cutaneous reactions attributable to the sensitisation potential of propan-2-ol were observed in guinea-pigs. Therefore, the results of this study demonstrated that propan-2-ol showed no evidence of contact skin sensitisation in guinea pigs.

- Endpoint conclusion:
- no study available
Justification for classification or non-classification
The substance does not meet the criteria for classification and labelling for skin sensitisation according to Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.
