Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
equivalent or similar to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 406 (Skin Sensitisation)
Deviations:
not specified
GLP compliance:
no
Type of study:
open epicutaneous test
Justification for non-LLNA method:
A valid in vivo test is available which follows accepted guidance for skin sensitisation.
In addition, this means no further unnecessary animal work is required.

Study design: in vivo (non-LLNA)

Induction
Route:
epicutaneous, open
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Concentration / amount:
3, 10, 30 and 100 %
Day(s)/duration:
21 days
Adequacy of induction:
highest concentration used causing mild-to-moderate skin irritation and well-tolerated systemically
Challenge
No.:
#1
Route:
epicutaneous, open
Vehicle:
not specified
Concentration / amount:
30%
Day(s)/duration:
Day 21
Adequacy of challenge:
highest non-irritant concentration
No. of animals per dose:
6-8
Details on study design:
On day "0" application of 0.1 mL of the test material on the flank skin of 6 to 8 guinea pigs.
Applied repeatedly for 3 weeks or 5 times weekly during 4 weeks.
The application site was left uncovered.
Challenge controls:
The minimumirritating concentration was used in order to confirm biological activity determined before starting the induction (day -1).
0.025 mL of each concentration was applied to the skin.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Concentrations higher than 10% induced weak to strong concentration dependant skin irritation. Therefore the maximum concentration considered for skin irritation unaffected by skin irritation was 10%.
At 10% of Lime Oxide in ethanol, no allergic potential was observed under the test conditions and Lime Oxide was well tolerated on the skin of guinea pigs
Executive summary:

No allergic reactions were observed. Therefore no classification is required.
