Details on study design:
RANGE FINDING TESTS: 5 animals were used for the preliminary test. The adequate concentrations for the inductions and the challenge were determined by a preliminary test with different concentrations. The test item was applied topically at 5 different concentrations (12.5%, 25%, 50% and 75%, each diluted with the vehicle acetone and 100%, neat) were applied topically to the flanks of the animals for 6 hours using occlusive dressings. Based on the results of this preliminary test 100% was the selected concentration for dermal induction and 25% for the challenge application.

MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 3 exposures
- Exposure period: 3 weeks
- Test groups: Test groups treated with 100% test substance.
- Control group: Treated with acetone.
- Site: Flanks
- Frequency of applications: Once a week
- Duration: 6 hours
- Concentrations: 100% test substance

B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: One
- Day(s) of challenge: 14 days after last induction
- Exposure period: 6 hours
- Test groups: The right flanks of 20 animals were treated with 0.5 mL of 25% test item in acetone.
- Control group: The left flanks of 10 animals were treated with 0.5 mL of acetone only.
- Site: Both flanks
- Concentrations: 25% test item in acetone
- Evaluation (hr after challenge): at 24 and 48 hours

Challenge controls:
A patch loaded with 0.5 mL of the vehicle was applied to an area of approximately 2.5 x 2.5 cm on the left flank at an untreated site (intraspecific control) and was held in contact with the help of an occlusive dressing for 6 hours.
Positive control substance(s):
yes

Results and discussion

Positive control results:
The sensitisation rate after application of the positive-control substance mercaptobenzothiazole (25% in vaseline) was 80%, confirming the reliability of the test system.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
In the in vivo skin sensitisation study, conducted according to an appropriate OECD test guideline and in compliance with GLP, the test material (1,1,3,3-tetramethyldisiloxane-1,3-diyl)dipropane-1,3-diyl dimethacrylate, was concluded to be not sensitising to skin.
