RANGE FINDING TESTS:
2 Animals were intradermally treated with 2-20% concentration of the test items. No signs of irritation or systemic toxiocity occured. 4 Animals were topically treated with 5 to 50% for 24 and 48 h respectively. No signs of irritation and systemic toxicity were observed.

MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 3
- Exposure period: 7days
- Test groups: pure substance or TS in water
- Control group: water
- Site: shoulder region
- Frequency of applications: days 1, 7 and 8
- Duration: intradermally and dermally 48h occlusive
- Concentrations: 50%


B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 1
- Day(s) of challenge: beginning on day 22 for 3 days
- Exposure period: 24 h
- Test groups: pure substance
- Control group: water
- Site: shoulder region
- Evaluation (hr after challenge): 24, 48, and 72 h

Positive control substance(s):
yes
Remarks:
alpha Hexylcinnamicaldehyde

Results and discussion

Positive control results:
The reliability control worked as expected. The test was prepared separately in March/April 2002 with 20% .alpha.-Hexylcinnamicaldehyde. 1/10 animal showed score 3 reactions, 1 showed score 2 reactions and 3 showed score 1 reactions after 24 h. 5 nimals showed no reaction.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not sensitising
Remarks:
Migrated information
Conclusions:
The substance is not sensitizing to the skin in a OECD 406 Guinea Pig Maximation Test under the conditions used.
Executive summary:

A guinea pig maximization test on Cavasol W6 HP (test substance) according to OECD 406 did not show any sensitizing effects nor any sign of toxicity or irritation when applied. The controls worked as expected.
