SENSITIZING EFFECTS

Vehicle control:

No positive reactions were evident after the first challenge application.

Test article:

No positive reactions were evident after the first challenge application.

Due to the unequivocal findings observed after the first challenge, no second challenge was performed.

 

VIABILITY / MORTALITY

No death occurred

 

SYMPTOMS, LOCAL

Vehicle control:

Application area around the injection sites 1, 2 and 3 were found to show edema and erythema from day 2 to day 8. Necroses were observed from day 10 to 25 (termination of test).

Test Article:

The animals of the test article-treated group were found to show the same reactions as described above. Additionally discoloration on the treated skin was observed from day 3 to 5 and day 10 to 16.

At the day 9 of test no observation could be performed because the animals were treated semi-occlusively.

 

SYMPTOMS, SYSTEMIC

No systemic simptoms were observed.

 

BODY WEIGHTS

Animals n. 916, 917, 918 and 927 () were found to show emaciation during acclimatization.

The body weight gain of all other animals was not affected during the test.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: Not classified as a skin sensitiser according to the CLP Regulation (EC) No.1272/2008
Conclusions:
Not sensitising
Executive summary:

Method

The test has been conducted in according to the GLP procedure and in according to the following guidelines:

OECD Guideline 406, EU Method B.6 and "Allergic Contact Dermatitis in the Guinea pig: Identification of Contact Allergens" Mangusson B. Kligman A.M., 1970 published by C. C. Thomas, Springfiels, Illinois, U.S.A.

Observations

Ten animals (5 per sex) were treated with the vehicle alone (petrolatum oil) and 20 animals (10 per sex) were treated with the test article in petrolatum oil.

No systemic symptoms have been recorded but local symptoms were observed: The animals of the negative control group showed oedema and erythema from day 2 to day 8 on the application area around the injection sites 1, 2 and 3. Necrosis were observed from day 10 to 25 (termination of test).

The animals of the test article-treated group were found to show the same reactions as described above. Additionally discoloration on the treated skin was observed from day 3 to 5 and day 10 to 16.

Nevertheless during the first challenge procedure no positive reactions were evident and no deaths occurred.

Results

The test item does not show any allergenic potential under the test condition.
