Details on study design:

RANGE FINDING TESTS:
2 animals were treated topically with concentrations of 100% and 75% of the test item (dissolved in corn oil) for 6 hours.
Based on the results of this preliminary test the following concentrations were chosen for the main test:
100% for the dermal inductions (highest possible concentration that produced mild irritation)
75% for the challenge application (maximum non-irritant concentration)

MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: three
- Exposure period: 6 hours
- Test groups: 20 animals induced with 100% test substance.
- Control group: 10 animals received similar treatment with no test substance.
- Site: The left flank was cleared of hair (close-clipped) prior to the first application and again prior to further applications. A gauze patch was loaded with 0.5 mL of the test substance. The patch was applied to the test area of approximately 2.5 x 2.5 cm and was held in contact with the help of an occlusive dressing for 6 hours.
- Frequency of applications: weekly at the same site.
- Duration: three weeks
- Concentrations: 100%

B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: one exposure, fourteen days after the last induction
- Exposure period: 6 hours
- Test groups: 14 days after the last induction application the prepared test substance was applied to an area of approximately 2.5 x 2.5 cm on the right flank and was held in contact with the help of an occlusive dressing for 6 hours.
- Control group: A patch loaded with the vehicle was applied to an area of approximately 2.5 x 2.5 cm on the left flank (intraspecific control) and was held in contact with the help of an occlusive dressing for 6 hours.
- Site: Both flanks were cleared of hair (close-clipped) prior to the challenge application.
- Concentrations: 75%
- Evaluation (hr after challenge): Approximately 21 hours after removing the patch, the challenge area was cleaned and cleared of hair by use of a depilatory cream. Approximately 24 and 48 hours after removing the patch the skin reaction was observed and recorded.

Positive control substance(s):

yes

Remarks:

mercaptobenzothiazole. The most recent reliability check was performed in November/December 2014.

Results and discussion

Positive control results:

The sensitisation rate after application of the positive-control substance mercaptobenzothiazole (25% in vaseline) was 60%, confirming the reliability of the test system.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

not sensitising

Remarks:

Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU

Conclusions:

Tris(isopropenyloxy)(vinyl)silane has been tested in a guinea-pig maximisation (Buehler) study conducted according to OECD 406 and in compliance with GLP. None of the animals challenged for 6 hours to the test item or the negative control showed any evidence of sensitisation at either 24 or 48 hours after removing the patch.
