Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 1B (indication of skin sensitising potential) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
To determine the sensitizing potential of topically applied Trimethyloctylammonium
methyl sulphate, the present study(LLNA-BrdU-ELISA) was conducted. The animals
were observed for 6 days after administration and mortality, clinical signs, body
weights, skin reactions, changes in ear thickness, skin Stimulation Index (SI) were
recorded.
No mortality according to the test substance was observed. Animals of all treatment
groups showed a normal change in body weight.
As a result of observing the localized region treated with the test substance, skin
irritation was not observed and significant change was not observed in ear thickness
measurement compared before treatment of the test substance.
The stimulation index (SI) was calculated as 1.4, 1.5, and 2.1 for the test substance
G3 (5 %), G4 (10 %) and G5 (25 %). The stimulation index (SI) of positive control
group (G6) was 2.9.
Based on the results of this study, Trimethyloctylammonium methyl sulphate was
considered as skin sensitization substance (Local Lymph node assay: BrdU-ELISA).
