- RANGE FINDING TESTS:
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
- Injections were made in the shaved scapular region and topical application on the shaved flanks. Two animals were subjected to intradermal injections (10, 5, 2 and 1 % w/v) and a further two to topical application (25, 10, 5 and 2 % w/v). The injection sites were assessed for irritancy at 24, 48 and 72 hours after injection. The topical application was assessed for irritancy 24, 48 and 72 hours after patch removal.
B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
- Test material was applied to the shaved flanks of two animals for 24 hours at concentrations of 25 and 10 % w/v.
MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: two (injection; topical)
- Test groups: 20 animals
- Control group: 20 animals (treated with vehicle instead of test material)
- Site: 4 x 6 cm shaved area in scapular region
- Frequency of applications: six intradermal injections, three in a line each side of and parallel to mid-line in shaved region of (i) 0.1 mL Freund's Complete Adjuvant, (ii) 0.1 mL test material and (iii) 0.05 mL test material emulsified with 0.05 mL Freund's complete adjuvant.
- Exposure Period/Duration: six days after the injection phase, the injection site was shaved and wetted with 10 % SLS to provoke a mild inflammatory response. After 24 hours, filter paper with 10 % w/v test material was added to the pre-treated area of the animals and the patch given an occlusive covering and the dressing left in place for 48 hours.
- Concentrations: 2 % w/v (injection) - actual value 10 % w/v due to calculation error; 10 % w/v (topical)
B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: one
- Day(s) of challenge: two weeks after topical induction
- Exposure period: 24 hours
- Test groups: 20 animals
- Control group: 20 animals (treated with vehicle instead of test substance)
- Site: 2 cm x 25 cm area on the left flank
- Concentrations: 25% w/v
- Evaluation (hr after challenge): 24 and 48 hours after removal of patch - Challenge controls:
- Test material at 25 % w/v in paraffin oil administered to control group animals.
- Positive control substance(s):
- yes
- Remarks:
- 2,4-dinitro-chlorobenzene (DNCB)
Results and discussion
- Positive control results:
- - The sensitivity of the strain of guinea-pig was checked at 6 monthly intervals to a known sensitiser (2,4-dinitro-chlorobenzene (DNCB)).
- In the most recent positive control test 11/20 of the test group reacted positively to challenge with DNCB at a concentration of 0.1 % (w/v) in propylene glycol.

Any other information on results incl. tables
None of the 20 test animals showed positive reactions of the challenge application. None of the 20 control animals showed a positive reaction to the vehicle application.
Body weight gains were within an acceptable range.
No clinical signs, other than skin reactions induced by treatment were noted.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- Under the conditions of the test, the test material was determined to be a non-sensitiser.
- Executive summary:
In a GLP compliant study the sensitising potential of the test material was assessed in accordance with the standardised guideline EPA OPP 81-6 in guinea-pigs (guinea pig maximisation test).
Under the conditions of the test, the test material was found not to be sensitising.
