Materials and methods
Test guideline
- Qualifier:

Challenge
- Concentration / amount:
- tested as 10% solution in maize germ oil for injection. 100% for topical application
- No. of animals per dose:
- 20, 10 for control group.
- Details on study design:
- A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 1
- Test groups: 1
- Control group: 1
- Site: Shoulder, prepared by clipping 6 hours before start of test.
- Frequency of applications: single application
- Concentrations: Injection 1: 0.1ml test substance 10% in corn oil. Injection 2: 0.1ml test substance 10% in a 1:1 mixture of FCA and corn oil. Injection 3: 0.1ml 1:1 mixture of FCA/water. Injections given in pairs either side of shoulder (6 injections in total). The control group received the same injections but without the test substance present. Sodium lauryl sulphate not used prior to topical application. After 1 week, 2x4cm filter paper loaded with test substance held in contact under occlusive dressing (Leukoflex) for 48 hours.

- Concentrations: 100%
- Evaluation (hr after challenge): 24 and 48 hours after exposure (removal of dressing)

Any other information on results incl. tables
General reactions did not occur during the test, the treatment had no detrimental effect on the development of body weight. (All individual animal weights reported at each significant time point.) After intracutaneous application: clear reddening, swelling and necroses at the injection sites treated with FCA and deionised water (1:1) (Test and control animals). Clear reddening and swelling at the injection sites treated with the 10% product in maize germ oil (Test). The control with just maize germ oil only showed slight reddening and swelling at the injection sites. Clear reddening and swelling and slight necroses at the injection sites treated with 10% product n a mixture of FCA and maize germ oil, 1:1 (Test) and those treated with FCA and maize germ oil, 1:1 (control). 2. After patch test with a contact duration of 48 h. Inflammation at all the injection sites treated with FCA. 24h after removal of the patch, crust formation at the injection sites.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- not sensitising
- Remarks:
- Migrated information
- Conclusions:
- Classification: not sensitizing
- Executive summary:
In a guideline (OECD 406) study using the guinea pig maximization test, ethyl acetate showed no evidence of any sensitising properties.
