RANGE FINDING TESTS
Undiluted test substance and 75%, 50% and 25% w/v preparations of the test substance in corn oil were applied to the skin of two female guinea pigs. Irritation was detected in all concentrations. Further dose levels (15%, 10%, 5% and 3%) were tested. Slight irritation signs were observed at 15% and 10%, while no signs of irritation were seen after application of the two lowest doses. The 15% dose was selected as appropriate for the induction phase and the 5% for the challenge phase.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
sensitising
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
HiTEC 7134 was tested for its skin sensitisation potential on guine pigs in accordance with the Buehler test. The results revealed that the test material shall be considered as a skin sensitiser under the specific test conditions.
Executive summary:

The sensitisation potential of HiTEC 7134 was assessed using a method based on that described by Ritz and Buehler (1980). The test substance in corn oil was applied dermally to 20 female Dunkin-Hartley guinea pigs. Ten animals were used as controls. The study involved an initial induction phase and a sequential challenge phase. Concentrations applied topically during the two phases were as follows: 0.4 ml of 15% w/v preparation in corn oil during induction, and 0.1-0.2 ml of 5% w/v preparation in corn oil during the challenge phase. The sensitisation response of the animals was determined 1 and 2 days after challenge by assessing the degree of erythrema. The study was performed in accordance with the OECD Guideline 406 (Skin Sensitisation). The challenge of the previously-induced animals with H7134 exerted a moderate skin sensitisation response in eight out of the 20 animals, expressed as scattered mild redness. Such effects were not seen in any of the control animals. The net response was 40% and based on the classification criteria H7134 shall be classified as a skin sensitizer.
