Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

In vivo test system

Test animals

Species:
guinea pig
Strain:
Dunkin-Hartley
Sex:
female
Details on test animals and environmental conditions:
Age on day 0: 5 - 8 weeks
Acclimatization period 15 days before the first test substance application.
Identification via ear tattoo.
Body weight (day 0): 383 - 431 g
The animals were housed in fully air-conditioned rooms with a room temperature ranging between 20 - 24°C and a relative humidity in the range of 30 - 70%. The day/night rhythm was 12 h dark and 12 h light. Five guinea pigs per cage (plastic cages, type 3020W009 with perforated base (floor area: 4000 cm2). Wooden gnawing blocks were used.
A standardized animal laboratory diet as well as tap water were available ad libitum.

RANGE FINDING TESTS:
0.5 ml test substance (undiluted, 50% in peanut oil PH.EUR. 5.5) was topically applied (occlusive) for 6 hours. Readings: 1, 24 and 48 h after removal of the patch.

MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 3
- Exposure period: 6h
- Control group: not treated
- Site: Intact flank
- Frequency of applications: days 0, 7 and 14
- Concentrations: undiluted

B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 1
- Day of challenge: 14 days after the third induction
- Exposure period: 6 hours
- Control group: treated as test group
- Site: Intact flank
- Concentrations: undiluted
- Evaluation (hr after challenge): 24 and 48 h after the removal of the patch
Challenge controls:
yes (not treated during induction period)
Positive control substance(s):
yes
Remarks:
A positive control is not included in this study. However, a separate study is performed twice a year to proove that the laboratory is able to detect sensitizing compounds under the laboratory conditions chosen.

Any other information on results incl. tables

Pretest:

After application of a 50% test-substance preparation as well as of the undiluted test substance, no skin irritation could be observed.

Main test:

The inductions with the undiluted test substance did not cause any skin reactions in all test group animals.

The challenge with the undiluted test substance did not cause any skin reactions neither in animals of the control group nor in test group animals 24 and 48 hours after removal of the patch.

The expected body weight gain was generally observed in the course of the study.
