RANGE FINDING TESTS:
To find an appropriate concentration for induction phase, three guinea pigs were treated on their shaved flanks for 6 h with 5, 10, 15, 30, 40 and 50% of the test substance in paraffin perliquid DAB 8. At the reading time point 24 h thereafter, no skin irritation was observed at any concentration level. To achieve a mild irritation in the induction phase, the animals were pre-treated with 10% sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS) in vaseline 24 h before the induction with 50% of the test substance.

Very slight skin reactions were seen at the first reading in test and control animals and were reversible in all animals within 48 h. These reactions are probably caused by an irritating effect of the test substance.

Interpretation of results:
not sensitising
Conclusions:
CLP: not classified
DSD: not classified
Endpoint:
skin sensitisation: in vivo (non-LLNA)
Type of information:

RANGE FINDING TESTS:
To find an appropriate concentration for intradermal induction, three guinea pigs were treated with 0.1, 0.5, 1.0 and 2.0% of the test substance in Paraffinum perliquidum DAB 8. An adequate irritation was achieved by a concentration of 0.1% test substance. Three other guinea pigs were epicutaneously treated on one flank with 5, 10 and 15% of the test substance in Paraffinum perliquidum DAB 8 to provoke a slight irritative effect. Because no irritation was observed at any concentration level, the animals were treated one week later on the other flank with 15 and 30% test substance in vaseline and 30% test substance in Paraffinum perliquidum DAB 8. A slight irritation was observed. For the main study, 40% of the test substance was used.

Results of the rechallenge treatment with 4% of the test substance

The rechallenge treatment on the left flank with 4% of the test substance did neither in the test substance group nor in the negative control group result in any erythema or edema at the 24 and 48 h reading time points.

Results of the induction phase

The intradermal injections of 0.1 mL of FCA (50% (v/v)), the test substance (0.1% (v/v)) and a 1:1 mixture of the test substance with FCA caused moderate to severe skin reactions. In the control group, the intradermal injection of 0.1 mL of the vehicle leads to moderate skin reactions. After the epicutaneous treatment of the test group with 40% of the test substance, the injection sites of the intradermal induction were bloody and purulent and at a later stage, this sites showed necrotic and scabby skin lesions.

Interpretation of results:
other: inconclusive
Remarks:
Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
With regard to the results of the challenge with 10 and 15% of the test substance, the conclusion could be drawn, that the test substance has a skin sensitizing potential. The results of the rechallenge with 4 and 8% of the test substance, however, might indicate that the skin reactions were caused by an irritative effect of the test substance.
Due to the fact that a high concentration of 40% for the epicutaneous induction was required to induce a slight to moderate irritation, it has to be concluded that the low concentrations of the rechallenge were not sufficient to penetrate the intact skin. Therefore, the results of the rechallenge are of minor importance.
Taken together, the results of this study report were judged as ambigious.

Interpretation of results:
not sensitising
Conclusions:
As detailed in the analogue justification, it is considered that the target and the source substances are unlikely to lead to differences in skin sensitisation potential. The available data on suitable source substances did not show any skin sensitising effects. Therefore, the target substance is not predicted to be a skin sensitiser.

Endpoint conclusion:
no adverse effect observed (not sensitising)

Respiratory sensitisation

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no study available
Additional information:

There are no skin sensitisation data available with Fatty acids, C16-18 (even numbered), esters with glycerol oligomers. A skin sensitisation study with the registered substance has been commissioned at a CRO. Therefore, as an interim measure, the skin sensitisation potential of the registered substance was assessed based on the available data from the source substances 1,2,3 -propanetriol, homopolymer, diisooctadecanoate (CAS 63705-03-3). In accordance with Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006 Annex XI, 1.5 “Grouping of substances and read across” and following the Read across assessment framework (RAAF, ECHA 2017) read across from an analogue substance has been applied to support the human health hazard assessment of Fatty acids, C16-18 (even numbered), esters with glycerol oligomers.


 


Two studies investigating the skin sensitising potential of 1,2,3 -propanetriol, homopolymer, diisooctadecanoate (CAS 63705-03-3) are available.


A study was performed according to a Buehler test protocol similar to OECD Guideline 406 in Pirbright white guinea pigs and under GLP conditions (Kaestner, 1989). The test material was diluted in paraffin perliquid DAB 8 (1st Induction and challenge) or vaseline (2nd and 3rd induction) and applied at a concentration of 50% for epidermal induction and challenge and at concentration of 25% for rechallenge. The negative control group was treated with the vehicle only. No positive control data was included in the study report for reliability check.


The test animals were treated with the product on the right body side three times in intervals time of one week each. The substance was applied at a concentration of 50% under occlusive conditions for 6 hours every time on the same skin areas. The control group was treated with vehicle only.


14 days later the test and control animals were treated on the right and left body side with the test substance at a concentration of 50% with patches for 6 h (challenge).


One week later the rechallenge treatment was conducted on test and control animals and the test substance was applied the left body side with a 25% solution. After challenge and rechallenge at patch removal, very slight skin reactions were seen at the first reading (24 h after challenge) in test and control animals and were reversible in all animals within 48 h. These reactions were probably caused by an irritating effect of the test substance. These reactions were nearly the same on both groups. At the second reading after challenge (48 h) and rechallenge no effects in terms of skin reactions were observed in both groups. According to these results the test substance is not a skin sensitiser.


 


A not sufficiently documented (no data on positive control substance or historical controls and lack of data on test substance) guinea pig maximisation test was performed to assess the skin sensitisation potential of 1,2,3 -propanetriol, homopolymer, diisooctadecanoate (CAS 63705-03-3), (Kästner, 1988). 20 female Pirbright-Hartley guinea pigs were treated with the test substance at 0.1% for intra- and 40 % for epidermal induction on Days 1 and 8, respectively. 19 animals served as negative controls. A positive control group was not included in the study and no information is given on periodical testing of strain sensitivity, either. 14 days after the epidermal induction, epidermal challenging was performed with a 10% and 15% test material dilution in Paraffinum perliquidum DAB 8.


24 and 48 h after challenging skin examination revealed irritation in the test group and in the control group. Rechallenge treatment (conducted on the left flank 7 days after challenge) with 8% test substance showed irritation in the test group and in the control group, while the rechallenge with 4% of the test substance did neither in the test substance group nor in the negative control group result in any erythema or edema at the 24 and 48 h reading time points.


With regard to the results of the challenge with 10 and 15% of the test substance, the conclusion could be drawn, that the test substance has a skin sensitizing potential. The results of the rechallenge with 4 and 8% of the test substance, however, might indicate that the skin reactions were caused by an irritative effect of the test substance.


Due to the fact that a high concentration of 40% for the epicutaneous induction was required to induce a slight to moderate irritation, it has to be concluded that the low concentrations of the rechallenge were not sufficient to penetrate the intact skin. Therefore, the results of the rechallenge are of minor importance.


Taken together, the results of this study report were judged as ambiguous.


 


Conclusion for skin sensitisation properties


Taken together, all available data for assessment of the skin sensitising potential indicate that the source substance 1,2,3 -propanetriol, homopolymer, diisooctadecanoate (CAS 63705-03-3) has no skin sensitisation potential. Thus and based on read-across, the registration substance can also be concluded as not being a skin sensitiser.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on read-across from a structurally similar substance, the available data on skin sensitisation do not meet the criteria for classification according to Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008, and are therefore conclusive but not sufficient for classification.
