- Each animal was identified by ear tattoo.
- The guinea-pigs were housed in suspended cages with wire mesh floors and they had free access to tap water and a Vitamin C-enriched Guinea-pig Diet F.D.1 (Special Diets Services Limited). Hay was given once weekly.
- Animal room temperature was approximately 21°C and relative humidity 30-70%.

-Challenge: 0.05% v/v in 5% v/v acetone in Alembicol D. - Route:
- epicutaneous, occlusive
- Vehicle:
- other: Acetone in Alembicol D.
- Concentration / amount:
- The following concentrations of Epiclon EXA-4032 were selected:

-Challenge: 0.05% v/v in 5% v/v acetone in Alembicol D. - No. of animals per dose:
- 10 test animals and 10 control animals
- Details on study design:
- Induction exposure:
-Prior to each induction application, the skin on the left shoulder region of the guinea-pig was clipped free of hair using electric clippers.
- A 2*2 cm patch of surgical gauze (3 layers thick) was satured with approximately 0.5 ml of Epiclon EXA-4032, 1% v/v in 5% v/v acetone in Alembicol D. The patch was placed on the skin and covered by a lenght of impermeable plastic adhaesive tape (5 cm with "blenderm". This in turn was firmly secured by elastic adhesive bandage (Elastoplast 5 cm width) wound round the torso of the animal and fixed with "Sleek" impervious plastic adhasive tape. Contact with the skin was maintained for approximately 6 hours for each induction exposure.
The dressing were then removed and the resulting dermal reactions assessed approximately 24 hours later for erythema and oedema.
Nine induction applications were made in this manner three times a week during a three week period. Due to the development of severe dermal reactions, the induction site was re-located on the fifth and then the eigh inductions.
Control animal:
-During the induction period the control animals were treated similary to the test animals with the exception that the test compound was omitted from the induction applications.
Challenge:
-The test and control animals were challenged topically two weeks after the ninth induction application using Epiclon EXA-4032, 0.05% v/v in 5% v/v acetone in Alembicol D.
- Hair was removed by clipping from a 5*5 area on the right flank of each guinea-pig. A 2*2 cm gauze patch (3 layers thick) was saturated with approximately 0.5 ml of the test sample in a similar fashion to that used for the induction applications. The patch was sealed to the flank for approximately 6 hours undr a 5 cm strip of "Blenderm" covered by "Elastoplast" wound round he trunk and secured with "Sleek".
Scores:
Erythema and eschar formation.
-No erythema: 0
-Slight erythema (barely perceptible): 1
-Well-defined erythema: 2
-Moderate erythema: 3
-Severe erythema (beet redness) to slight eschar formation (injuries in depth)
Oedema formation.
-No oedema: 0
-Slight oedema (barely perceptible): 1
-Well-defined oedema (edges of area well-defined by definite raising): 2
-Moderate oedema (raised approximately 1 millimetre): 3
-Severe oedema (raised more than 1 millimetre and extending beyond area of exposure): 4 - Challenge controls:
- The control animals were challenged topically two weeks after the ninth induction application using Epiclon EXA-4032, 0.05% v/v in 5% v/v acetone in Alembicol D.
- Hair was removed by clipping from a 5*5 area on the right flank of each guinea-pig. A 2*2 cm gauze patch (3 layers thick) was saturated with approximately 0.5 ml of the test sample in a similar fashion to that used for the induction applications. The patch was sealed to the flank for approximately 6 hours undr a 5 cm strip of "Blenderm" covered by "Elastoplast" wound round he trunk and secured with "Sleek". - Positive control substance(s):

- Migrated information
- Conclusions:
- In this screening test, performed in ten albino guinea-pigs, Epiclon EXA-4032 produced evidence of delayed contact hypersensitivity in all ten animals.

For the experiment, twenty female albio guinea-pigs were used (10 for the test animals and 10 for control animals).
The procedure may be considered in two parts: Inuction and Challenge.
The following concentrations of Epiclon EXA-4032 were selected:
-Induction: 1% v/v in 5% v/v acetone in Alembicol D.

Justification for classification or non-classification
- skin sensitisation:
Based on the above stated assessment of the skin sensitisation potential of 1,6-dihydroxynaphthalene diglycidyl ether, the substance needs to be classified as R43 (May cause sensitisation by skin contact) according to Council Directive 2001/59/EC (28th ATP of Directive 67/548/EEC) and Skin Sens. 1 (H317: may cause an allergic skin reaction) according CLP (Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 Of The European Parliament And Of The Council) as implementation of UN-GHS in the EU.
