according to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 406 (Skin Sensitisation)
GLP compliance:
yes (incl. QA statement)
Type of study:
guinea pig maximisation test
Justification for non-LLNA method:
An LLNA study was not performed because there is an existing reliable study for skin sensitisation using the Guinea Pig Maximisation test method.

Details on study design:
RANGE FINDING TESTS:

Selection of concentrations for intradermal induction:
Two animals were intradermally injected with preparations of test material (1% or 5% w/v in distilled water). The highest concentration that did not cause local necrosis, ulceration or systemic toxixicty, was selected for the intradermal induction stage of the main study.

Selection of concentration for topical induction:
Two guinea pigs (intradermally injected with Freund's complete adjuvant twenty one days earlier) were treated with the undiluted test material and three preparations of the test material (75%, 50% and 25% v/v in distilled water). The highest concentration producing only mild to moderate dermal irritation after the 48 hour occlusive exposure, was selected for the topical induction stage of the maiin study.

Selection of concentration for topical challenge:
The undiluted test material and three preparations of the test material (75%, 50% and 25% v/v in distilled water) were applied occlusively to the flanks of two guinea pigs for a period of 24 hours. These guinea pigs did not form part of the main study but had been treated identically to the control animals of the main study, up to day 14. The highest non-irritant concentration of the test material and one lower concentration were selected for the topical challenge stage of the main study.

MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
On day 0 a row of three injections (0.1ml) was made on each side of the midline. The injections were: (1) Freund's complete adjuvant plus distilled water in the ratio 1:1, (2) a 1% (w/v) dilution of test material in distilled water, (3) a 1% (w/v) dilution of test material in a 1:1 preparation of Freund's complete adjuvant plus distilled water. One week later (Day 7), the same area on the shoulder region used previously for intradermal injections was clipped again and treated with a topical application of the undiluted test material, which was applied on filter paper which was held in place occlusively for 48 hours. Erythemaeous reactions were quantified one and twenty-four hours following removal of the patches. In the case of the induction of the control animals, intradermal injections were administered using an identical procedure to that used for the test animals, except that test material was omitted and substituted with distilled water. The topical applications followed the same procedure as for the test animals except that nothing was applied to the filter paper.


B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
On Day 21, a quantity of the undiluted test material was applied to the shorn right flank of each animal on a square of filter paper which was held in place. To ensure that the maximum non-irritant concentration was used at challenge, the test material at a concentration of 75% (v/v) in distilled water was also similarly applied to a separate skin site on the right shorn flank. The vehicle alone was similarly applied to the left shorn flank. The patches were occluded, and torso wrapped. After 24 hours the dressing was removed, and their position identified with marker-pen. Approximately 24 and 48 hours after challenge dressing removal, erythematous reactions were quantified using the four point scale shown overleaf.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The in vivo skin sensitisation study, conducted according to OECD Test Guideline 406 and in compliance with GLP, found the test material CHDTMP Na to be not sensitising to guinea pig skin.
