Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
equivalent or similar to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 406 (Skin Sensitisation)

Challenge
No.:
#10
Route:
epicutaneous, occlusive
Vehicle:
propylene glycol
Concentration / amount:
10% for induction and challenge
No. of animals per dose:
10 test animals and 5 controls animals, for pretest 2 animals each for 0.1%, 1.0% and 10% concentrations to evaluate irritation
Details on study design:
In a pretest, Dechlorane Plus 25 was not irritating in groups of 2 animals treated with 0.1, 1.0, and 10% suspension. In the main test, 10 test animals and 5 control animals were initiated with 10% Dechlorane Plus 25 occlusively daily for 9 days, 5 hours per day. Two weeks later, challenge was performe d with 10% Dechlorane Plus 25 epidermally occlusively for 5 hours and reactions recorded at 24 and 48 hours after application.
Challenge controls:
Control animals (5 guinea pigs) were challenged with 10% Dechlorane Plus 25 occlusively for 5 hours but not initiated.
Positive control substance(s):
no

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Not sensitizing upon epicutaneous induction and challenge. In accordance with the provisions of regulation 1272/2008, Annex I, 3.4, Dechlorane Plus is not classified as sensitising.
Executive summary:

Dechlorane Plus 25 was tested in the Buehler test in guinea pigs for contact sensitization potential. Only 10 test animals and 5 control animals were used. Initiation was performed with 10% test substance applied occlusively for 5 hours per day for 9 days. Challenge was performed with 10% Dechlorane Plus 25 for 5 hours occlusively at 2 weeks after the end of the initiation. Control animals were not initiated and only challenged. No skin reaction was observed in any animal at any time point during induction and challenge. Dechlorane Plus 25 was not contact sensitizing in this study.
