RANGE FINDING TESTS:
For the intradermal injections a series of four test substance concentrations was tested; the highest concentration was the maximum concentration that could technically be injected. Two animals received two different concentrations in duplicate (0.1 mL/ site) in the clipped scapular region. The resulting dermal reactions were assessed 24 and 48 hours after treatment. Based on the results in the initially treated animals, two additional animals were treated in a similar manner with four lower concentrations at a later stage.
For the epidermal application, a series of four test substance concentrations was tested, the highest concentration being the maximum concentration that could technically be applied. Two different concentrations were applied (0.5 mL each) per animal semi-occlusively to the clipped flank (site of 2x3cm). The animals receiving intradermal injections were treated with the lowest concentrations and two other animals with the highest concentrations. After 24 hours, the dressing was removed and the skin cleaned of residual test substance using water. The treated skin areas were assessed for irritation 24 and 48 hours after exposure.

Any other information on results incl. tables

No mortality occurred and no symptoms of systemic toxicity were observed in the animals of the main study. Body weights and body weight gain of experimental animals remained in the same range as controls over the study period.

On day 3 after intradermal injection of 1:1 Mixture of FCA and water (and a 1:1 Mixture of FCA and vehicle for injection), all animals had erythema grade 3. One control animal had slight erythema (grade 1) related to injection of vehicle. This reaction was also found in 6 guinea pigs of the test group after injection with 0.5% test substance. Additionally, one animal in the test group had well-defined erythema (grade 2). One animal from the test group had signs of necrosis (1 mm in diameter). Signs of necrosis were seen in all animals of the test group at the injection site of 1:1 Mixture of FCA and a 20% test substance concentration (size ranging form 3 to 5 mm, on average 3.8 mm); No skin reaction was seen after epidermal exposure to the vehicle or to 10% test substance in any of the animals.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not sensitising
Remarks:
Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Based on the results of a guinea pig maximisation test, performed according to OECD/EC guidelines and GLP principles, disodium isodecyl sulfosuccinate was found to be not sensitising.
Executive summary:

A guinea pig maximisation test was performed with disodium isodecyl sulfosuccinate according to OECD/EC guidelines and GLP principles. Reliable positive and negative controls were included. Based on a preliminary irritation study, the test substance concentrations selected for the main study were a 0.5% concentration for the intradermal induction and a 10% concentration for the epidermal induction exposure. A 10% test substance concentration was selected for the challenge phase. During the main study, no mortality occurred and no symptoms of systemic toxicity were observed. Body weights and body weight gain of experimental animals remained in the same range as controls over the study period. Epidermal exposure to the vehicle or to 10% test substance did not result in a skin reaction in any of the animals. Since no responses were observed in the experimental animals in response to a 10% test substance concentration in the challenge phase, it is concluded that disodium isodecyl sulfosuccinate has no sensitising properties according to CLP Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.
