- MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE INTRADERMAL
- No. of exposures: 1, intradermal injections of FCA (to enhance a possible sensitisation) and immediately afterwards epicutaneous application of the test substance to the sites of the intradermal injections.
- Test groups: 3
- Control group: 1
- Site: 2 cm x 4 cm in the interscapular region.
- Frequency of applications: 1 x
- Duration: 24 hours
- Concentrations: 500 mg test item
INDUCTION EXPOSURE EPICUTANOUS (day 8)
- No. of exposures: 1
- Concentrations: test item 50 % (w/w) in white petrolatum
- Epicutaneous application of the test substance to the sites of the intradermal injections.
Day 8: The highest technically feasible test item concentration of 50 % in white petrolatum did not cause markable skin irritations in the preliminary test in the animals. According to B. Magnusson and A.M. Kligman, all animals of both groups were therefore pretreated with a formulation of n-dodecylsulfate, sodium salt (E. Merck, D-64271 Darmstadt, Art. No. 13760), 10 % (w/w) in white petrolatum, one day before the epicutaneous induction exposure on Day 8. About 0.5 g per animal were gently applied with a plastic spatula onto the appropriate area to give a slight local hyperaemia. The area was left uncovered. About 0.5 g of test item or about 0.4 g to 0.5 g of white petrolatum were applied to each animal. The exposure time was 48 hours.
B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE (day 23)
- No. of exposures: 1
- Test groups: 3
- Control group: 1
- Site: 2 x 4 cm epicutaneous application of the test substance to the left flanks and application of the vehicle to the right flanks of all animals.
- Concentrations: test item 50 % (w/w) in white petrolatum
- Challenge exposure: 24 hours
- Evaluation: 24 and 48 hours after the end of the challenge

2 = well defined erythema
3 =severe erythema and/or oedema - Positive control substance(s):
- not required
Results and discussion
- Positive control results:
- Historical control data confirmed the validity of the test system. 7/10 animals (70 %) represented the net rate of animals sensitised by "HEXYL CINNAMIC ALDEHYDE". The results prove the sensitivity of the strain of animals used and the reliability of the experimental technique.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- not sensitising
- Remarks:
- Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
- Conclusions:
- Based on the available data on sensitisation the test item is not subjected to classification and labelling according to Regulation 67/548/EEC (DSD) and Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 (CLP).
- Executive summary:
The aim of the study was to investigate the sensitising potential of the test item using a traditional sensitising test with guinea pig. The study was performed according to the OECD 406, adopted in 1992. 10 females and 5 females were used as treatment and negative control group respecitvely. For the first induction the test item was administered epicutaneously following the injection of Freund's complete adjuvant. Before the second induction exposure, the animals were pretreated with n-dodecylsulfate, sodium salt (10 % in white petrolatum, w/w). The second induction occured epicutanously at day 8 using a test item concentrations of 50 % (w/w) in white petrolatum. At day 23 the epicutanous challenge was performed again with 50 % (w/w) in white petrolatum. Test sites were covered with occlusive dressings. The results of skin examinations were decisive for the grading of the potential of sensitisation. No positive skin reactions were observed after 24 hours and 48 hours therefore the test item is considered to be "not sensitising" to skin.
