SCORING:
No evidence of any effect: 0
(Barely Perceptible) - minimal faint (light pink) uniform or spotty erythema: 0.5
(Mild) - Pink uniform erythema covering most of contact site: 1
(Moderate) - Pink-red erythema uniform in entire contact area: 2
(Marked) - Bright red erythema with accompanying edema, petachiae or papules: 3
(Severe) - Deep red erythema with vesiculation or weeping, with or without edema: 4

The sensitization potential (Sensitization Rate) of the test product was determined by determining the ratio of positive responses with scores greater than 0.5, 48 hours after patch removal to the total number of animals tested.
The degree of sensitization (erythema index) was calculated by adding the scores of 1 or more and dividing by the number of animals exhibiting a positive response.
See table 2 for further details.

RESULTS

General: apart from the slight irritation observed after the topical booster application, all guinea pigs appeared active and healthy throughout the test period. There were no signs of gross toxicity, adverse pharmacologic effects or abnormal behaviour. All animals gained weight.

Induction: barely perceptible to mild erythema was observed at all sites 24 hours after the topical booster application. By 48 hours all sites were clear.

Challenge: there was no evidence of erythema at any sites on any of the test animals 24 or 48 hours after challenge. Similarly, no irritation occurred on any of the dosed sites on the naive Guinea Pigs.

Interpretation of results:
not sensitising
Remarks:
Migrated information According to the CLP Regulation. Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Non sensitising.
Executive summary:

Method

The potential of the test material to provoke delayed skin sensitization reactions was assessed after intradermal injection and topical skin insult applications of the test item.

Induction: after acclimating to the laboratory environment, 10 healthy, male, Hartley Strain, guinea pigs were injected ID with approximately 0.05 ml of test product in water, 0.05 ml 5 % test material in 50 % aqueous Freunds Complete Adjuvant and 0.05 ml 50 % aqueous Freunds Complete Adjuvant at multiple sites in the shaven anterior left and right shoulder areas. 

Topical induction (booster): 7 days later, a Hilltop Chamber containing 0.1 ml of test material was placed adjacent to each previously injected area for 48 hours at which time the chambers were removed. The sites were scored for erythema 24 and 48 hours after patch removal (72 and 96 hours after initial topical application). 

Challenge: 14 later, both flanks of each guinea pig were shaved and each received a topical application of 0.1 ml test material per site on a Hilltop Chamber. The chamber was secured in place for 24 hours, then removed. 24 and 48 hours later (48 and 72 hours after challenge), the sites were scored for a sensitization response.

Results

General: apart from the slight irritation observed after the topical booster application, all guinea pigs appeared active and healthy throughout the test period. There were no signs of gross toxicity, adverse pharmacologic effects or abnormal behaviour. All animals gained weight.

Induction: barely perceptible to mild erythema was observed at all sites 24 hours after the topical booster application. By 48 hours all sites were clear.

Challenge: there was no evidence of erythema at any sites on any of the test animals 24 or 48 hours after challenge. Similarly, no irritation occurred on any of the dosed sites on the naive Guinea Pigs.

Discussion and conclusion

According to the CLP Regulation, a substance is classified as skin sensitiser when in the Guinea pig maximisation test the response of at least 30 % of the animals is considered as positive.

There are not positive results reported in this appropriate animal test.

In conclusion, the test item can be classified as NON sensitising, according to the CLP (EC 1278/2008) Regulation.
