Details on study design:
RANGE FINDING TESTS:
Two animals were treated intradermally with a concentration of 0.01, 0.1, 0.5, 1, 5 or 10% of the test item and the control vehicle (vehicle: sesame oil)
perliquidum). Six animals were treated topically with concentrations of 1, 5, 10, 25, 50 and 75%% of the test item and the control
vehicle for 24 or 48 hours.


MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
Intradermal (day 0)
- No. of exposures: 3 pairs of intradermal injections of 0.1 mL
Test group:
Injection 1: a 1:1 mixture (v/v) FCA/physiological saline
Injection 2: a 0.5 % concentration of the test item in sesame oil chosen
Injection 3: a 0.5 % concentration of the test item formulated in a 1:1 mixture (v/v) FCA/physiological saline
Control group:
Injection 1: a 1:1 mixture (v/v) FCA/physiological saline
Injection 2: 100 % sesame oil
Injection 3: a 50 % (v/v) formulation of sesame oil in a 1:1 (v/v) mixture FCAIphysiological saline

Topical Application (day 7)
The shoulder region of the same animals was shaved again one day before the treatments.
Test Group:
The test item was suspended in sesame oil at a concentration of 75 %. A patch was fully loaded with 0.5 mL of the prepared test item,
applied to the test area and held in contact by an occlusive dressing for 48 hours.
Control Group:
A patch was fully loaded with 0.5 mL of the vehicle sesame oil and applied to the test area and held in contact by an occlusive
dressing for 48 hours.

B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE (day 21)
Test and Control Group:
Two weeks after the topical application (corresponds to a monitoring period of 21 days) the flanks of the same animals were shaved and depilated for a further topical application using the patch-test technique.
The test item was suspended in sesame oil at a concentration of 1 %. A patch, loaded with 0.5 mL of the prepared test item was applied.
The filter paper containing the test item was applied to the left flank, the filter paper with the vehicle to the right flank of the animal (exposure time: 24 hours). 21 hours after the filter paper had been removed, no cleaning of the treated skin was necessary.

The skin reaction was observed and recorded 24, 48 and 72 hours after patch removal.




Challenge controls:
The test item was suspended in sesame oil at a concentration of 1 %. A patch, loaded with 0.5 mL of the prepared test item was applied sesame oil to the left flank of the animals and a patch loaded with 0.5 mL of the vehicle to the right flank (intraspecific control), respectively. The patches were held in contact by an occlusive dressing for 24 hours.
Positive control substance(s):
yes
Remarks:
α-hexyl cinnamic aldehyde, 85%, was dissolved in sesame oil for phase 1 and 3. This group was carried out concurrently with this study during May 2012

Results and discussion

Positive control results:
The Sensitisation rate after application of the positive control substanceα-hexyl cinnamic aldehyde, 85%, was 100 %, confirming the
reliability of the test system.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not sensitising
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: other: CLP, EU GHS (Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008)
Conclusions:
In this study, Amides, C8-10, N-(hydroxyethyl), is not a dermal sensitiser.
Executive summary:

In a dermal sensitisation study according to OECD TG 406, 1992) with Amides, C8-10, N-(hydroxyethyl) in sesame oil, young adult Dunkin-Hartley guinea pigs were tested using the Maximization test method. Positive control substance was α-hexyl cinnamic aldehyde, 85% with a sensitisation rate of 100 %.

 

Moderate skin reactions were observed after intradermal induction (0.5 %) and dermal induction (75 %) in the test substance animals. After challenge exposure (1 %) no skin reactions were observed in test or control animals at any observation time. Therefore the sensitisation rate was 0 %.

 

For the challenge concentration, which is the highest non-irritant dose, 1 % of the test item was used.

 

In this study, Amides, C8-10, N-(hydroxyethyl), is not a dermal sensitiser.
