Details on test animals and environmental conditions:
TEST ANIMALS
- Source: in house
- Weight at study initiation: 320 to 398 g
- Housing: individually in Macrolon cages (Type 3)
- Diet (e.g. ad libitum): Standard guinea pig pellets - NAFAG No. 845, Gossau SG; ad libitum
- Water (e.g. ad libitum): ad libitum

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 22 +/- 3°C
- Humidity (%): 30 to 70%
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12 / 12
Route:
intradermal
Vehicle:
other: Oleum arachidis
Concentration / amount:
5% / 0.1 mL
Day(s)/duration:
Single injection during Week 1
Adequacy of induction:
other: Concentration selected based on solubility of the test article and its local and systemic tolerability in a pretest.
Route:
epicutaneous, occlusive
Vehicle:
other: vaseline
Concentration / amount:
50% / 0.4 g
Day(s)/duration:
Single application during Week 2. Applied for 48 hours
Adequacy of induction:
other: Concentration selected based on primary Irritation potential
No.:
#1
Route:
epicutaneous, occlusive
Vehicle:
other: vaseline
Concentration / amount:
10% / 0.2 g
Day(s)/duration:
Single application during Week 5. Applied for 24 hours
No. of animals per dose:
Test group: 10 males and 10 females
Control group; 5 males and 5 females
Details on study design:
see above
Challenge controls:
A control group of 10 animals (5 m/5 f) was treated with adjuvant and the vehicle during the induction period. During the challenge period the group was treated with the vehicle as well as with the test article to check the maximum subirritant concentration of the test article in adjuvant treated animals.
Positive control substance(s):
no
Remarks:
The sensitivity of the strain is checked once or twice a year with a known mild to moderate sensitiser, such as mercaptobenzothiazole, hexyl cinnamic aldehyde or potassiumdichromate.

Interpretation of results:
Category 1B (indication of skin sensitising potential) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
In a guideline (OECD 406) in vivo GMPT study, Irgastab CH 302 was a skin sensitizer in albino guinea pigs. 85% of the test animals were sensitized at an induction concentration of 5%.
Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
adverse effect observed (sensitising)
Additional information:

85% of the test animals were sensitized at an induction concentration of 5%.

Respiratory sensitisation

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no study available

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the available data, Irgastab CH 302 is classified as a Category 1B skin sensitizer according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
