RANGE FINDING TESTS:
On the basis of the preliminary investigations the doses for the main study were chosen.
The intradermal irritancy of the test article was investigated in order to find a slight to moderate irritant test concentration for the intradermal induction using intradermal injections as in the main study. The following test item concentrations were tested: 0.63 %, 1.25 %, 2.5 %, and 5 %

The topical irritancy of the test article was investigated in order to find a slight to moderate irritant concentration for the dermal induction and a non-irritating concentration for the challenge application using procedures similar to the main study. The following test item concentrations were tested: 25 % and 50 %.

Results:
intradermal injection: no skin reactions was observed for any test item concentration.
topical application: no skin reactions was observed for any test item concentration.

MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 2 (intradermal injection and dermal application)
- Site: area of dorsal skin 4 x 6 cm in the scapular region was clipped free of pair with an electric clipper.
- Frequency of applications: three pairs of intradermal injections were given once and 6 days later the same site was treated with approximately 0.5 g sodium lauryl sulphate (10% in petrolatum) to provoke a mild inflammatory reaction. 24 hours later 0.4 mL of the test item was topically applied to the skin using a patch.
- Exposure period: 48 hours (dermal application)
- Concentrations:
Test animals:
Intradermal:
i) 0.1 mL FCA diluted 1:1 with sterile distilled water
ii) 0.1 mL test article in groundnut oil (final concentration: 5 % (w/w))
iii) 0.1 mL test article and FCAin the ratio 1:1 (final concentration: 10 % (w/w))
Topical application:
50 % test material in diethylphathalate

Control animals:
Intradermal injection:
i) 0.1 mL FCA diluted 1:1 with sterile distilled water
ii) 0.1 mL groundnut oil
iii) 0.1 mL groundnut oil and FCA in the ratio 1:1 (w/w)
Topical application:
diethylphathalate

B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 1 (topical application three weeks after the intradermal induction)
- Exposure period: 24 hours
- Site: flanks (right flank: diethylphathalate; left flank: 50 % of the test item)
- Evaluation (hr after challenge): 24 and 48 hours after removal of the patch
Evaluation according to the Magnusson and Kligman grading scale.
Challenge controls:
20 guinea pigs were used as control animals
Challenge dose: 50 % of the test item
Positive control substance(s):

Induction

Injections of FCA mixed with vehicle, test article and sterile distilled water elicted irritation. No skin reactions were seen following the topical induction.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The substance is not a skin sensitiser.
According to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 and subsequent adaptations, the substance does not require classification as skin sensitiser.
Executive summary:

The skin sensitisation potential of the substance was investigated according to the guinea pig maximization test (OECD guideline 406 (1981)) using 20 Dunkin-Hartley guinea pigs. A control group of 20 animals were run concurrently.

The treatment regime involved an intradermal induction (5 % of the substance in groundnut oil) and a topical induction (50 % of the substance in diethylphathalate; occlusive dressing, exposure period: 48 hours). The day before topical induction the skin was treated with 10% sodium lauryl sulfate in petrolatum. The control animals were treated with groundnut oil during the intradermal induction and diethylphathalate during the topical induction.

Both control and test animals were subjected to a topical challenge exposure (test item concentration: 50 % of the substance in diethylphathalate, occlusive dressing, exposure period: 24 hours) three weeks after the intradermal induction. Administration sites were examined for erythema and oedema formation at 24 and 48 hours after removal of the test item application and scored according to the Magnusson and Kligman grading scale.

The sensitisation rate of the test item was 5 % and 0 % at 24 hours and 48 hours after patch removal, respectively.The test item is not considered to be a skin sensitiser.

According to the EC-Regulation 1272/2008 and subsequent regulations, the test substance is not classified as skin sensitiser.
