RANGE FINDING TESTS:
A preliminary test was performed to define dose levels for the main study. Sensitization was performed by intradermal route with 1% test substance in vehicle showing no irritation. Sensitization by cutaneous route was performed with testsubstance in its original form. Challenge application was performed at 5% test substance (maximum non-irritant dose) covered with an occlusive dressing for 24 hours.

MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 3 injections. 1: 50% Freund´s adjuvant, 2: Test substance and/or vehicle, 3: Adjuvant mixture + test substance and/or vehicle
- Exposure period: day 1-9
- Test groups: 1: 50% Freund´s adjuvant, 2: Test substance and/or vehicle, 3: Adjuvant mixture + test substance and/or vehicle
- Control group: 1: 50% Freund´s adjuvant, 2: Test substance and/or vehicle, 3: Adjuvant mixture + test substance and/or vehicle
- Site: clipped just before treatment on day 1 and 8 on the scapular area (4 x 2 cm)
- Frequency of applications: 2
- Duration: 10 days
- Concentrations: Injection: 01 ml (1%); Cutaneous: 0.5 ml (100%)

B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: occlusive dressing for 24 hr on day 26
- Day(s) of challenge: 24 hr
- Exposure period: 24 hr
- Test groups: 0.5 ml of 5% in vehicle (paraffin oil) and 0.5ml of vehicle on each flank
- Control group: 0.5 ml of 5% in vehicle (paraffin oil) and 0.5ml of vehicle on each flank
- Site: site clipped again and shaved on day 25 on each flank (2 x 2 cm)
- Concentrations: 5%
- Evaluation (hr after challenge): 24 and 48hr

OTHER: challenge application made with test substance at 5% = maximum non-irritant dose

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
sensitising
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
In the Guinea pig mazimization test, the test substance EDGA (EOEOEA) after an intradermal induction dose of 1% in paraffin oil and a challange dose of 5% in paraffin oil induced weak to moderate cutaneous reactions considered a result of a weak to moderate sensitisation reaction in 90% of the guinea pigs. EOEOEA should according to the CLP criteria be classified as Skin Sens 1A.
Executive summary:

In the Guinea pig mazimization test, the test substance EDGA (EOEOEA) after an intradermal induction dose of 1% in paraffin oil and a challange dose of 5% in paraffin oil induced weak to moderate cutaneous reactions (considered a result of a weak to moderate sensitisation reaction) in 90% of the guinea pigs. Due to the high rate of positive reactions (90% of the animals) EOEOEA should according to the CLP criteria be classified as Skin Sens 1A.
