Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The test substance d-Phenothrin is not a skin sensitizer according to the criteria of Regulation 1272/2008 in this study.
Executive summary:

This study was conducted to assess the skin sensitisation potential of d-Phenothrin in guinea pigs. The method followed was as per the guidelines of OECD No 406 (July 1992) using the Guinea-pig Maximisation Test Method.

Thirty Hartley strain guinea pigs were randomly divided into two groups. The control group comprised of 10 guinea pigs (5 males and 5 females) and the treatment group comprised of 20 guinea pigs (10 males and 10 females). Based on the results of the pilot study, 5.0% (v/v) d-Phenothrin in propylene glycol was selected for intradermal injection during induction exposure on day 0. Since d-Phenothrin was found to be non-irritant, the clipped site was painted with 0.5 mL of 10% sodium lauryl sulphate in vaseline to augment local skin irritation. Undiluted d-Phenothrin (0.2 mL) was selected for topical application during induction (on day 7) and challenge exposure (on day 21).

The skin reactions of the guinea pigs were recorded post induction (intradermal injections/topical application) following the Draize method (Draize et al., 1944) and at 24 and 48 h post challenge treatment following the Magnusson and Kligman grading scale (Magnusson and Kligman, 1969).

Very slight erythema (in 7/20 guinea pigs) to well-defined erythema (in 13/20 guinea pigs) and very slight oedema (in 19/20 guinea pigs) were observed on day 1 in the guinea pigs from the treatment group following intradermal injection (day 0). Very slight erythema (in 11/20 guinea pigs) to well-defined erythema (in 9/20 guinea pigs) and very slight oedema (in 8/20 huinea pigs) were observed on day 10 on the left flank of the treatment group guinea pigs following topical application on day 7. No skin reactions were observed in the guinea pigs from the control group.

Visual observation of the skin following challenge exposure did not reveal any positive skin response at 24 or 48 h post patch removal in the guinea pigs belonging to the treatment group.

No clinical signs related to treatment other than skin irritation were observed during the course of the study.

The mean body weights of the treatment group guinea pigs remained comparable to those of the control group.

A sensitisation rate of zero percent at 24 and 48 h post patch removal was observed, using an adjuvant.

As a result, d-Phenothrin is not considered a skin sensitiser in this study.
