Type of study:
Buehler test
Justification for non-LLNA method:
The Buehler test has been selected, because it is one of the recommended tests in the OECD guideline 406, adopted May 12,1981, adapted July 17,1992, as well as in Annex V, Part B of Council Directive 67/548/EEC (Commission Directive 92/69/EEC of July 31, 1992).

MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: Three epidermal occlusive test article applications on the same skin site for 6 hours each (weeks 1 t o 3)
- Exposure period: 3 weeks
- Test groups: Epidermal induction (weeks 1 to 3)
- Control group: Distilled water
- Site: Epidermal
- Frequency of applications: Once a week
- Duration: 6 hours
- Concentrations: 30 % in distilled water

B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: One
- Exposure period: 6 hours
- Control group: Distilled water
- Site: Epidermal
- Concentrations: 5 % in distilled water
- Evaluation (hr after challenge): Twenty four and forty eight hours after removing the dressings, the challenge reactions were graded according to a modified Draize scoring scale.

This test consists of an induction period with three epidermal occlusive test article applications on the same skin site for 6 hours each (weeks 1 t o 3), a rest period of 13 to 15 days, followed by a challenge period with epidermal occlusive application of the test article for 6 hours (week 5 ).
For all epidermal applications in the test and control group the following self-adhesive and occlusive chamber was used:
Hill Top Chamber"11 full system: 25 mm (Hill Top Research, Inc., Cincinnati , USA)
Approximate volume applied: 0.35 ml/chamber ( fully loaded)

Control group
The control group was treated with the vehicle during the induction period . Like in the test group the maximum sub-irritant concentration of FAT 46014/G was tested during challenge in these animals.
Challenge controls:
Distilled water
Positive control substance(s):
yes
Remarks:
potassium-dichromate

Results and discussion

Positive control results:
After 24 hrs: 11/19 animals showed a positive result.

One of the male animal was found dead on experimental day 3. Macropathological investigations of this animal showed an ulcer, perforating the small intestine.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 1B (indication of skin sensitising potential) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
FAT 46014/G is classified as a sensitiser in albino guinea pigs according to the EEC Classification criteria (Commission Directive 93/21/EEC, April 27, 1993).
Executive summary:

A key study was conducted to determine the skin sensitisation potential of FAT 46014/G (purity: 99.8 %) in guinea pigs. Test was carried out in GLP compliance and followed the OECD guideline 406. Under the experimental conditions employed, 58 and 47 % of the 19 animals of the test group showed skin reactions 24 and 48 hours after removing the dressings, respectively. FAT 46014/G is therefore, classified as a sensitiser in albino guinea pigs according to the EEC Classification criteria (Commission Directive 93/21/EEC, April 27, 1993).
