Details on study design:

RANGE FINDING TESTS:
In a dermal-occlusive test for primary skin irritation, each of the following test concentrations was administered to the flanks of guinea pigs:

Animal No. Left flank Right flank
1 100 % (moistened) 20 % in sesame oil
2 100 % (moistened) 4 % in sesame oil
3 20 % in sesame oil 4 % in sesame oil

The hair on the flanks of the animals was removed mechanically. 0.5 mL or 0.5 g of the test substance preparation was administered to a 2 x 2 cm cellulose patch, which was fixed to the flank and covered occlusively for 6 hours with a bandage and film. 24 hours after removal of the patches, the treated skin areas were examined for erythema and edema according to the scale Draize.

No signs of irritation occurred after administration of the different test concentrations. Based on these results, 100 % Resin 835 A (Lot: 0141762) was selected for the sensitization treatments.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

not sensitising

Remarks:

Migrated information

Conclusions:

Under the conditions of the present study, none of twenty animals of the treatment group showed a positive skin response after the challenge procedure. Based on the results of this study Resin 835 A (Lot: 0141762) showed no evidence for sensitizing properties according to the classification criteria of Directive 2001/59/EC.

Executive summary:

Skin sensitization testing of Resin 835 A (Lot: 0141762) was performed in female guinea pigs according to the method of BUEHLER.

Dermal induction was performed using 100 % Resin 835 A (Lot: 0141762) 0.5 g moistened with 0.2 mL in sesame oil. The control group was exposed to sesame oil only. Challenge treatment was carried out with 100 % Resin 835 A (Lot: 0141762) 0.5 g moistened with 0.2 mL in sesame oil.

The validity of the test system is confirmed by the periodically conducted positive control test using Alpha-hexylcinnamaldehyde for the maximization test (report number PT02-0041, dated 13 -Jun-2002; Aventis Pharma Deutschland GmbH, ProTox).

Based on the results of this study Resin 835 A (Lot: 0141762) showed no evidence for sensitizing properties according to the classification criteria of Directive 2001/59/EC.
