- Details on study design:
- RANGE FINDING TESTS: Consisted of eight guinea pigs, with each animal receiving 2 concentrations of test material. Originally administered undiluted and at 25%, 50%, and 75% v/v/ in paraffin oil. Because of irritation at the 25% level, additional concentrations of 10% v/v and 1% v/v were needed to determine irritation threshold. No dermal irritation resulted from the 1% v/v applications. The 10% and 25% v/v applications produced very slight irritation responses. The 25%,50%, and 75% v/v applications produced very slight to well-defined responses. Based upon these results, the test material was administered as a 50% v/v/ mixture (mild to moderately irritating) in paraffin oil for the sensitising applications and as 1% v/v mixture (the highest non-irritating concentration) in paraffin oil for the challenge dose.

- Executive summary:
Justification for Read Across
Treated distillate aromatic extracts (TDAEs) are a further processing of distillate aromatic extracts (DAEs) in an attempt to reduce the amount of 3-7 ring PAC that is present. Since the treatment is mostly a selective reduction of PACs, the data from DAEs can serve as read across where treatment was insufficient and a significant amount of PACs still remain (≥ 3 wt% DMSO extractables as measured by IP-346). Where treatment was sufficient to reduce the 3-7 ring PACs (<3 wt% DMSO extractables as measured by IP-346), the material is most similar to a lubricating base oil and it is this data that should be used for read across.
In a dermal sensitisation study using light paraffinic distillate solvent extract in paraffin oil, 5 to 6 week old Hartley guinea pigs were tested in a Buehler test which is similar to OECD test guideline 406. 10 test guinea pigs were dosed with 0.4 mL 50% v/v in paraffin oil for 3 weeks (1 dose/week) and then a challenge dose of 0.4 mL 1% v/v in paraffin oil 2 weeks after the last test dose. A naïve control group of 10 animals remained untreated during induction, but received the same dose as the test animals during the challenge phase. For purposes of classification and labelling and registration under REACH aromatic extracts are sub-divided into the categories of untreated distillate aromatic extracts (DAE), treated distillate aromatic extracts (TDAE), and residual aromatic extracts (RAE). Some of the classifications are based on 3-7 ring PAC content, which is not substantively affected by whether the aromatic extract is derived from paraffinic or naphthenic or “light” or “heavy” crude.Therefore, DAEs and TDAEs are not subclassified based on crude oil source or viscosity, i.e., for any health endpoint data from any one of the untreated DAEs can be “read-across” to the remaining DAEs and whole TDAE category.
A very slight erythema reaction was exhibited by 8 animals in the test group. These reactions did not exceed the highest reaction of the naïve control animals. The other two test animals exhibited no reaction. Based upon the similar results obtained from the challenge phase and the naive control, light paraffinic distillate solvent extract is not sensitising to guinea pig skin according to EU criteria.
This study received a Klimisch score of 1 and is classified as reliable without restriction because it was conducted similar to OECD Test Guideline 406.
