No. of animals per dose:
Preliminary study: 4 females
Experimental group: 10 females
Control group: 5 females
Details on study design:
Based on the results of the preliminary study, the test substance concentrations for the main study were
selected to be the undiluted test substance for the intradermal and epidermal induction exposures.
Since no or negligible signs of irritation were observed to the concentration
selected for the epidermal induction, it was decided to treat all animals with
10% SDS approximately 24 hours before the epidermal induction.
The undiluted and a 50% and 25% concentration were selected for the challenge
phase.
Positive control substance(s):
yes
Remarks:
alpha-Hexylcinnamicaldehyde techn. 85%

Results and discussion

Positive control results:
The results of using using alpha-Hexylcinnamicaldehyde (techn. 85%) as positive control confirmed the skin sensitisation potential of alpha-Hexylcinnamicaldehyde and thereby the sensitivity and reliability of skin sensitisation study in guinea pig.

Any other information on results incl. tables

One experimental animal was found dead on day 16. No clinical signs were 


Since the four animals, which showed skin reactions in the first challenge


phase, showed no reactions in the second challenge to the same concentration, it


was considered that these responses were non-specific signs of irritation and


were not indicative of sensitisation. Therefore, it was concluded that no


evidence was obtained that the test item had caused contact hypersensitivity in the


guinea pig.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The test item was assessed for skin sensitization using the Magnusson & Kligman Maximisation test (OECD 406). None of the animals showed skin reactions with the test item by the second challenge. These data clearly demonstrate that the test item has no sensitization potential.
Therefore, the test item is not to be classified as "sensitizer".
