Details on study design:
RANGE FINDING TESTS:
Based on the results of a preliminary study a 25% dilution of the test substance in paraffin oil was used for intradermal induction and the undiluted (100%) substance was used for the epidermal induction exposure. The undiluted test substance was found to be slightly irritating upon dermal application.
A 50% test substance concentration was selected for the challenge phase as the maximum non-irritant dose upon dermal exposure for 24 h under occlusive dressing.

MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 2
- Exposure period: Intradermal induction on day 1. On day 7 a local irritation was induced using 0.5 mL of a 10 % sodium laurylsulphate in vaseline. On day 8 a epidermal induction was performed with 0.5 mL vehicle or 0.5 mL test substance. The dermal applications were held in place for 48 hours under occlusive dressing.
- Test groups: 20 animals treated with test substance
- Control group: 10 animals treated with vehicle only
- Site: the scapular region of both sides
- Concentrations: 0.1 mL of 25% dilution of the test substance in paraffin oil in the presence of Freund' adjuvant was used for intradermal induction and 0.5 mL of the undiluted (100%) test substance was used for epidermal induction.
- Duration: 10 days

B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 1
- Day(s) of challenge: 12 days after the last induction treatment
- Exposure period: 24 h under occlusive dressing
- Test groups: 20 animals treated with test substance
- Control group: 10 animals treated analogous to the test groups
- Site: the right flank was treated with the test substance; the left flank was treated with vehicle.
- Concentrations: 0.5 mL of a 50% solution in paraffin oil
- Evaluation (hr after challenge): 24 and 48 h after removal of the dressing

Interpretation of results:
not sensitising
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
CLP: not classified
DSD: not classified
Executive summary:

A Guinea pig maximization test was performed according to OECD Guideline 406. 20 test and 10 control animals (Dunkin-Hartley guinea pigs) were induced with 25% substance solution and challenged with a 50% test substance solution. 24 and 48 hours after termination of challenge exposure skin readings revealed no indications for a skin sensitising potential of Fatty acids, C16-18, 2-ethylhexyl esters.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Taking all the available data into consideration, isononyl isononanoate is considered not to be a skin sensitiser.
Executive summary:

No studies assessing the skin sensitising properties of isononyl isononanoate are available. A Guinea Pig Maximisation Test was performed with the analogue substance Fatty acids, C16-18, 2-ethylhexyl esters (CAS 91031-48-0), in which no skin sensitisation was induced (Clouzeau, 1991). The results of a Repeated Insult Patch Test (epicutaneous test) performed in 98 human volunteers with the analogue substance 3,5,5-trimethylhexyl 3,5,5-trimethylhexanoate (CAS 59219-71-5) show the substance had no skin sensitising effects (Harrison, 1997).
