No. of animals per dose:
According to the test guidelines the test was started with the minimum number of animals (5 per sex for the test group and 5 of one sex for controls). After the challenge procedure, it was not possible to conclude if the test substance is a sensitiser or not and therefore testing in additional animals was performed to give a total of 20 test and 10 control animals.
Details on study design:
RANGE FINDING TESTS:
- Intradermal induction: 5 % in physiological saline (w/v). Since 5 % FAT 20011/D in Physiological saline could be injected and was well tolerated, this concentration was used for the intradermal induction.
- Epidermal applications (induction and challenge): The concentrations for the epidermal applications were selected on account of the primary irritation potential of the test article. The following concentrations of FAT 20011/D have been examined on separate animals for the determination of the maximum sub-irritant concentration 20, 30 and 50% in physiological saline. The undiluted test article was not applicable to the skin. 50% was the highest possible concentration of the test article in physiological saline.

MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE, intradermal injections.
Three pairs of intradermal injections (0.1 ml per injection) were made simultaneously into the left and right side of the shaved neck of the test and control group animals.
Test group:
- adjuvant/saline mixture 1:1 (v/v)
- 5 % FAT 20011/D in Physiological saline (w/v)
- 5 % FAT 20011/D in the adjuvant/saline mixture (w/v)
Control group:
- adjuvant/saline mixture 1:1 (v/v)
- adjuvant/saline mixture 1:1 (v/v)
- Physiological saline

DAY 8: INDUCTION, epidermal application
In the test group FAT 20011/D was incorporated in physiological saline and applied on a filterpaper patch to the neck of the animals (patch 2x4 cm; approx. 0.4 g per patch; occluded administration for 48 hours). The control group was treated with the vehicle only.
Test group:
- 50 % FAT 20011/D in physiological saline
Control group:
- physiological saline only

B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
The test and control group animals were tested on one flank with FAT 20011/D in physiological saline and on the other flank with the vehicle alone (patch 2x2 cm; approx. 0.2 g per patch; occluded administration for 24 hours).
Test and control group:
- 30 % FAT 20011/D in physiological saline

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 1B (indication of skin sensitising potential) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
FAT 20011/D can be considered to be a skin sensitiser.
Executive summary:

A guinea pig maximization study was conducted to evaluate the skin sensitization potential of the FAT 20011/D according to OECD Guideline 406 and EU Method B.6 in compliance with GLP. Based on the results of a preliminary study, concentrations of 5 and 50 % of FAT 20011/D were selected for intradermal and topical induction concentrations, respectively, while the test concentration of 30 % was chosen for challenge. After challenge, 12/20 and 8/20 animals showed positive reactions after 24 and 48h respectively. Hence, it was concluded that, FAT 20011/D did show a skin-sensitising (contact allergenic) potential in albino guinea pigs.
