TEST ANIMALS
- Source: Elevage Janvier Labs (F-53941 Le Genest Saint Isle)
- Females (if applicable) nulliparous and non-pregnant: yes
- Microbiological status of animals, when known:
- Age at study initiation: 8 weeks old
- Weight at study initiation: yes
- Housing: the animals were individually housed in suspended solid-floor polypropylene cages furnished with softwood woodflakes. The temperature and relative humidity were controlled to remain within target ranges of 19ºC to 25ºC and 30% to 70% respectively. The rate of air exchange was at least ten changes per hour and the lighting was controlled by a time switch to give twelve hours continous light (07.00 to 19.00) and twelve hours darkness. The animals were provided with environmental enrichment items which were considered not to contain any contaminant of a level that might have affected the purpose or integrity of the study.
- Diet (e.g. ad libitum): ad libitum
- Water (e.g. ad libitum): ad libitum
- Acclimation period: acclimatisation period of at least five days under stabling and nutritional conditions identical to those of the test.
- Indication of any skin lesions: none

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 19ºC to 25ºC
- Humidity (%): 30% to 70%
- Air changes (per hr): 10
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12 hrs dark / 12 hrs light
- IN-LIFE DATES: From: 31 January To: 21 November 2018

MAIN STUDY

ANIMAL ASSIGNMENT AND TREATMENT
- Name of test method: LLNA:BrdU
- Criteria used to consider a positive response: The Stimulation Index (SI) calculated by individual approach will determine the EC1.6 if the value is higher than 1.6.

TREATMENT PREPARATION AND ADMINISTRATION:
Three groups of four animals were treated for three consecutive days (D1, D2, D3) with 50 microlitters (25 microlitter per ear) of the test item diluted at concentrations of 10%, 25% and 50% in propylene glycol (PG). A further group of four animals was treated with PG.
Positive control substance(s):
hexyl cinnamic aldehyde (CAS No 101-86-0)
Statistics:
Linear interpolation of points on the dose-response curve, immediately above and below the 1.6-fold threshold.

Results and discussion

Positive control results:
A study was performed to assess the sensitivity of the strain of mouseuse at these laboratories to a known sensitiser. The method was ddesigned to meet the requirements of the following:
- O.E.C.D. Guideline for the Testing of Chemicals Nº 442B "Skin sensitization: Local Lymph Node Assay: BrdU-ELISA" of July 22, 2010
-Test method B.51 Skin Sensitisation (Local Lymph Node Assay) - Council regulation No 640/2012 of 30 May 2012 (E.U. journal L193)
Test Item: alpha-Hexylcinnamaldehyde[101-86-0], 95%
Laboratory Project number: nºLLNA-BrdU-2018-B
Study dates: 04 July to 11 July 2018
Methods:
Three groups, each of four animals were treated with 50 microlitters (25 microlitters per ear) of alpha-Hexylcinnamaldehyde, as a solution in acetones/olive oil (4:1, v/v) at concentrations of 5%, 10% and 25% (v/v). A further control group of four animals was treated with acetone/olive oil (4:1, v/v) alone.
Results:
5% and 10% negative result. 25% positive result (1.61 +/- 0.20).
EC1.6 value: 24.66%for 5%, 10% and 25%.
Conclusion:
In conlcusion, in view of these results, under these experimental conditions, the substance alpha-Hexylcinnamaldehyde in accordance with the Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 has to be classified in category 1 "Skin sensitisation". The signal word "Warning" and hazard statement H317 "May cause an allergic skin reaction" are required.
