Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method B.6 (Skin Sensitisation)
GLP compliance:
yes
Type of study:
guinea pig maximisation test
Justification for non-LLNA method:
This study was conducted due to non-REACH regulatory requirements. With the existing data from this study not only being acceptable but of good quality (Klimisch Score 2), this study precludes the need for an additional LLNA study. In addition, a supplementary LLNA study would violate the ECHA objectives with regards to animal welfare.

Any other information on results incl. tables

In a separate preliminary study with guinea pigs of the same strain from the same source, the intradermal dose induced a well defined erythema and slight oedema. The topical dose had no irritant effect.

One of the test animals was found dead prior to exposure. The autopsy showed autolysis of the organs. The cause of the disease could not be observed but was not considered to be treatment-related.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The test substance was considered to be not sensitising to the skin of guinea pigs.
Executive summary:

In a dermal sensitisation study according to EU method B.6 (Huntingdon, ECHA RSS, 2017), young adult Dunkin Hartley guinea pigs (20 animals) were tested using the guinea pig maximisation method (GPMT). The test substance was applied in coconut oil (Alembicol D.). Induction was performed via intradermal injection (0.05 % concentration of test substance) or epicutaneously with a test substance concentration of 50 %. Challenge was performed at 25 % and 50 % concentration.

In a separate preliminary study with guinea pigs of the same strain from the same source, the intradermal dose induced a well-defined erythema and slight oedema. The topical dose had no irritant effect.

None of the 10 tested animals showed a positive response in the negative control group. No irritation or skin reactions were observed in any animal of the test group. One of the test animals was found dead prior to exposure. The autopsy showed autolysis of the organs. The cause of the disease could not be observed but was not considered to be treatment-related.

The tests substance is not regarded as skin sensitiser under the above described experimental conditions.
