Details on study design:
Determination of concentration
The concentration of test substance was determined from a pilot study and used for induction and challenge exposure.

Determination of induction dose level (Intradermal injection ; I.D., pilot test)
Test substance of each concentration with FCA were injected 0.1 ml in I.D.. And two animals were used in each concentration. The highest concentration not to cause skin necrosis was selected for the concentration of test substance used for I.D. induction. (Concentration of pilot study : 12.5 %, 10 %, 7.5 %, 5 %)
As a result of pilot test, all animals were not shown skin necrosis. Therefore, highest concentration(12.5 %) was determined as I.D. induction dose.

Determination of induction and challenge dose levels (Occulsive patch, pilot test)
Test substance of each concentration applied 0.5 ml to the test area and attached by an occlusive patch for 24 hours. Two animals were used in each concentration. The concentration of test substance used for induction exposure was the lowest concentration that cause erythema in skin. And the concentration of test substance used for challenge exposure was the highest non-irritant concentration. (Concentration of pilot study : 12.5 %, 7.5 %)
As a result of pilot test, all animals were not shown skin irritation. Therefore, highest concentration(12.5 %) was determined as induction and challenge concentration.

Reason for selecting concentration
Pilot tests were carried out and doses were chosen by the Good Laboratory Practice standards and the Test Guidelines of the National Institute of Environment Research (NIER) [Notice No. 2010-29, (Revised 16th August, 2010)], and OECD Guideline for Testing of Chemicals No. 406 'skin sensitisation' (Adopted 17th July, 1992).

Method of administration
1) Intradermal injection (1st Induction, Day 0)
Three pairs of I.D. of 0.1 ml volume were given in the shoulder region which was cleared of hair so that one of each pair lies on each side of the midline.

Test substance:
Up: 1:1 mixture of FCA and physiological saline
Middle: Test substance (12.5 %)
Low: Test substance (12.5 %) formulated in an 1:1 mixture of FCA and physiological saline

Negative control:
Up: 1:1 mixture of FCA and physiological saline
Middle: Distilled water
Low: 50% w/v formulation of the vehicle in an 1:1 mixture of FCA and physiological saline.

2) The test area was painted with 0.5 ml of 10 % sodium dodecyl sulfate at 24 hours prior to 2nd induction.

3) Occulsive patch (2nd Induction, Day 7)
Test substance: A cotton pad (4 cm2) was fully-loaded with 0.5 ml test substance (12.5 %) and applied to the test area and held in contact by an occlusive patch for 48 hours.
Negative control: The vehicle only was applied in a similar manner to the test area (4 cm2) and held in contact by an occlusive patch for 48 hours.

4) Challenge (Day 21)
12 days after inductions had been completed, challenge exposure was performed in all animals. The flanks of treated and control animals were cleared of hair. A cotton pad (4 cm2) patch loaded with 0.5 ml test substance (12.5 %) was applied to left flank of the animal. The patches were held in contact by an occlusive patch for 24 hours.

Administration time : Morning of the administration day

General observations

Clinical signs and mortality:
General clinical signs or mortality of all treated animals were observed continuously during the experimental periods once every day up to the final challenge observation.

Body weight:
Individual animals were weighed at receiving, grouping, 1st induction, 2nd induction and 24, 48 hours after removal of the challenge patch.

Observations - treated and control groups:
Approximately 21 hours after rremoval of the challenge patch, Test area was cleaned and closely-clipped, and 3 hours later the skin reaction was observed and recorded according to the grades shown below.
Approximately 24 hours after this observation a second observation was made and once again recorded.

Determination of skin sensitisation
Skin reactions were evaluated according to the Test Guidelines of the National Institute of Environment Research (NIER) [Notice No. 2010-29, (Revised 16th August, 2010)], and OECD Guideline for Testing of Chemicals No. 406 'Skin sensitisation' (Adopted 17th July, 1992).
Challenge controls:
A cotton pad patch loaded with the vehicle only also was applied to right flank.
Positive control substance(s):
not specified
Remarks:
Study states that a positive control is conducted every 6 months but no details or results are provided
