MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: three, on days 1, 7 and 14
- Exposure period: 6 hours, after which the site was wiped down with gauze moistened in deionised water to remove any residue
- Site: left dorsal side of the animal, called site 1
- Test groups: 50% in the first induction then 40% for the second and third induction exposures, which were all applied at site 1
- Control group: animals were exposed three times to 0.1% concentration of the test material in the same manner as the test group
- Frequency of applications: every seven days until all three consecutive applications have been administered

B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
- Rest time before challenge: approximately 2 weeks
- No. of exposures: two, the Challenge and the Rechallenge
- Exposure period: 6 hours, after which the site was wiped down with gauze moistened in deionised water to remove any residue
- Day(s) of challenge: application on Day 28 and Day 35 for the challenge and rechallenge respectively
- Site: three sites were used, for exposure, on the right dorsal side of the animal, called site 2, 4 and 6
- Test groups: 25% w/v of the test material was applied to site 2 in the challenge, then 20% and 10% w/v was applied at sites 4 and 6 during the rechallenge
- Challenge control group: the challenge control was performed concurrently with the test and applied in the same manner as the test material
- Positive Control group: the DNCB control and DNCB challenge were performed on Day 28 only, at site 2 and 4. 0.1% was applied at site 2 and 0.05% was applied at site 4
- Wrapping: following application of the test material, challenge control or positive control the trunk of the animal was wrapped in an occlusive manner

C. OBSERVATIONS
-Dermal reactions were recorded at 24 and 48 hours following application of the test material during induction exposure and both the challenge and rechallenge
-Clinical observations and mortality were recorded twice daily
-Body weights were recorded on the day before dosing in the induction, challenge and rechallenge
- All animals were euthanized after the final scoring
Positive control substance(s):
yes
Remarks:
DNCB (1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene) in acetone/ethanol: 0.1% w/v for the induction exposure and then 0.1% and 0.05% w/v in the challenge exposure

Interpretation of results:
not sensitising
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Under the conditions of the test there is no significant difference in the dermal response after the challenge or rechallenge applications of the test material. The test material was determined to be not sensitising and therefore does not require classification according to Regulation (EC) 1272/2008.
Executive summary:

In a GLP compliant Buehler test, the skin sensitisation potential was assessed according to standardised guidelines OECD 406 and EPA OPPTS 870.2600. Twenty Guinea pigs were exposed to the test material first using three induction exposures at 50 and 40 % w/v, then in a challenge and rechallenge exposure at 25, 20 and 10 % w/v. None of the test animals displayed a dermal reaction greater than the challenge control during the challenge or rechallenge. Under the conditions of the test, the test material was determined to be not sensitising and therefore does not require classification according to Regulation (EC) 1272/2008.

Additional information:

In a GLP compliant Buehler test, the skin sensitisation potential of an analogue substance (EC 265-205-1) was assessed according to standardised guidelines OECD 406 and EPA OPPTS 870.2600. Twenty Guinea pigs were exposed, first using three induction exposures at 50 and 40 % w/v, then in a challenge and rechallenge exposure at 25, 20 and 10 % w/v. None of the test animals displayed a dermal reaction greater than the challenge control during the challenge or rechallenge. Under the conditions of the test, the test material was determined to be not sensitising and therefore does not require classification according to Regulation (EC) 1272/2008.

Respiratory sensitisation

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no study available

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on results from a modified Buehler assay involving an analogue substance (EC 265-205-1), the criterion for skin sensitisation was not met (≤ 15% of the test animals responded to rechallenge when topical induction dose was > 20 %). In accordance with ECHA Guidance on the Application of the CLP Criteria (Version 4.1; June 2015), classification as a skin sensitiser is not required under the terms of Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
