Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
equivalent or similar to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 406 (Skin Sensitisation)
Principles of method if other than guideline:
On day 1, 0.1 ml of the test substance was administered by intradermal route at the concentration of 0.1 % in paraffin oil and on day 9 0.5 ml of the test substance was applied by cutaneous route at the concentration of 1%. After a period of 15 days without treatment, a challenge cutaneous application of the vehicle (left flank) and the test substance at the concentration of 1% (right flank) was performed in all the animals. The test substance and the vehicle were held in contact with the skin for 24 hours by an occlusive dressing. The cutaneous reactions were evaluated at the challenge application site, 24 hours and 48 hours after the removal of the dressing.
GLP compliance:
yes
Type of study:
guinea pig maximisation test
Justification for non-LLNA method:
Test performed prior to LLNA guideline

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 1 (skin sensitising) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
The test item is considered to be sensitising in this guinea pig maximisation test.
Executive summary:

On day 1, 0.1 mL of the test substance was administered by intradermal route at the concentration of 0.1 % in paraffin oil and on day 9, 0.5 mL of the test substance was applied by cutaneous route at the concentration of 1%. After a period of 15 days without treatment, a challenge cutaneous application of the vehicle (left flank) and the test substance at the concentration of 1% (right flank) was performed in all the animals. The test substance and the vehicle were held in contact with the skin for 24 hours by an occlusive dressing. The cutaneous reactions were evaluated at the challenge application site, 24 hours and 48 hours after the removal of the dressing.

Result: positive
