Description of key information
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Skin sensitisation
Link to relevant study records
- Endpoint:
- skin sensitisation: in vivo (non-LLNA)
- Type of information:
- migrated information: read-across from supporting substance (structural analogue or surrogate)
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Reliability:
- 2 (reliable with restrictions)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- other: GLP Guideline study. According to ECHA guidance, a study with a read-across substance can have no reliability of higher than 2. The study itself is valid without restriction.
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- OECD Guideline 406 (Skin Sensitisation)
- Version / remarks:
- (adopted May 12, 1981)
- Deviations:
- no
- GLP compliance:
- yes
- Type of study:
- guinea pig maximisation test
- Species:
- guinea pig
- Strain:
- other: Pirbright White Strain (Tif: DHP)
- Sex:
- male/female
- Details on test animals and environmental conditions:
- TEST ANIMALS
- Source: Ciba Geigy Ltd. Tierfarm, Sisseln, Switzerland
- Age at study initiation: no data
- Mean weight at study initiation: males = 382.7 g; females = 376.1 g
- Housing: housed individually in Macrolon cages (Type 3)
- Diet: ad libitum; standard guinea pig pellets -NAFAG No.847, Gossau SG (assayed for nutritive ingredients and contamination level by the manufacturer)
- Water: ad libitum (drinking water was examined periodically by the IWB (Industrielle Werke Basel)
- Acclimation period: 8 days
- Rationale for choice: The albino guinea pig is the recommended species for skin sensitization studies.
ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 22 ± 3
- Humidity (%): 30-70
- Air changes (per hr): no data
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12/12 - Route:
- intradermal and epicutaneous
- Vehicle:
- other: Sesame oil (Intradermal induction), Vaseline (epicutaneous induction and challenge)
- Concentration / amount:
- Intradermal induction: 1%
epicutaneous induction: 30%
challenge: 3% - Route:
- epicutaneous, occlusive
- Vehicle:
- other: Sesame oil (Intradermal induction), Vaseline (epicutaneous induction and challenge)
- Concentration / amount:
- Intradermal induction: 1%
epicutaneous induction: 30%
challenge: 3% - No. of animals per dose:
- Test group : 20 animals
control group: 20 animals - Details on study design:
- RANGE FINDING TESTS:
Separate animals were treated with the test article for the evaluation of the primary irritation threshold concentration. 10 % in Vaseline induced erythema reactions. 3 % in Vaseline did not induce skin reactions and, therefore, this concentration was used as the maximal sub-irritant concentration for the challenge applications.

- Amount applied: approx. 0.4 g paste of test substance in vaseline
- Type of coverage: occlusive
- Duration: 48 hours
- Evaluation (hr after challenge): directly after removal of patch
B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE (all animals i.e treated animals and control animals)
- Time schedule: 2 weeks after termination of epicutaneous induction exposure
- Site: flank
- Area of application: 2 x 2 cm (filterpaper patch)
- Concentrations: 3%
- Amount applied: 0.2 g paste of test substance in vaseline (one flank) and vaseline (other flank)
- Type of coverage: occlusive
- Duration: 24 hours
- Evaluation (hr after challenge): 24 and 48 hours after termination of exposure
B.2. RECHALLENGE EXPOSURE
After the standard challenge exposures, 6 animals of the test group showed very slight skin reactions 24 and 48 hours. Because all the reactions observed were mild, a second challenge application was performed after a further period of 1 week.

Endpoint conclusion
- Endpoint conclusion:
- no adverse effect observed (not sensitising)
- Additional information:
- Justification for selection of skin sensitisation endpoint:
The substance is considered to be non-sensiting to skin based on the minimal erythematous response (1/20 responders) observed at re-challenge in a guinea-pig M&K study with its close analogue.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Not classified for skin sensitisation, according to the criteria of CLP regulation EC No.1272/2008
