Conclusions:

Executive summary:

The study used as source investigated skin sensitisation to guinea pig after induction with 25 % test substance and challenge with 50 % test substance. The study results of the source compound were considered applicable to the target compound, and were used for classification and labelling acc. to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008. Justification and applicability of the read-across approach (structural analogue) is outlined in the read-across report in section 13

Conclusions:
Based on the evaluation criteria cited under 3.6. the results of this study show that 2.3-Butandiol does not have a sensitizing effect on the skin of the guinea pig in the Maximization Test under the test conditions chosen.
Executive summary:

After the intradermal induction intense erythema and swelling were observed at the injection sites of all control group animals and all test group animals at which only Freund's adjuvant/0.9% aqueous NaCI-solution was applied. At the injection sites of a 5% test substance preparation in Freund's adjuvant/0.9% aqueous NaCI-solution intense erythema and swelling were seen in all test group animals. Injections of a 5% test substance preparation in 0.9% aqueous NaCI-solution caused moderate and confluent erythema and swelling in all test group animals. The control group animals, injected with 0.9% aqueous NaCI-solution did not show any skin reaction. A 50% formulation of 0.9% aqueous NaCI-solution with Freund's adjuvant/0.9% aqueous NaCI-solution caused intense erythema and swelling in all control group animals. The epicutaneous induction with a 50% test substance preparation in doubly distilled water led to incrustation, partially open (caused by the intradermal induction) and moderate and confluent erythema with swelling in all test group animals.

The challenge with a 25% test substance preparation in doubly distilled water did not cause any skin reactions neither in control group 1 nor in the test group 24 and 48 hours after removal of the patches. Since no borderline results were observed, a 2nd challenge was not performed. Control group 2, that had been intended for a potential 2nd challenge was not applied and therefore not reported.

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no adverse effect observed (not sensitising)
Additional information:

No study is available on skin sensitisation for the submission substance. However, adequate and reliable data are reported here for a structural analogue (source substance 2,3 -Butandiol). Please also refer to the read-across justification document.


 


In the available key study, 2,3-Butandiol does not have a sensitizing effect on the skin of the guinea pig in the Maximization Test under the test conditions chosen.


 


In a supporting study performed with the submission substance, skin sensitisation of (2R,3S)-butane-2,3-diol was predicted using the OECD QSAR Toolbox 4.2 automated workflow (Read-across analysis, executed via Automated "Skin sensitization"). No adaptations such as data pruning were performed, and the automated prediction was accepted as valid by the programme.


 


Prediction summary


Predicted endpoint: EC3, Skin sensitisation; No effect specified; No species specified; No duration


specified; No guideline specified


Predicted value: Negative


Unit/scale: Skin sensitisation II (ECETOC)


Data gap filling method: Read-across analysis, executed via Automated "Skin sensitization"


 


2,3-butanediol ((2R,3S)-rich) is not sensitising to skin (negative). Therefore, (2R,3S)-butane-2,3-diol is not expected to cause allergic skin reactions to humans. The prediction was considered reliable and adequate to be used in human hazard assessment.

Endpoint conclusion:

Justification for classification or non-classification

Classification, Labelling, and Packaging Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008
The available experimental test data are reliable and suitable for classification purposes under Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008. Based on available data, the test item is not classified and labelled as skin sensitiser according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 (CLP), as amended for the eighteenth time in Regulation (EU) 2022/692. No data is available on respiratory sensitisation.
