RANGE FINDING TESTS:
0.1%, 1.0%, 10.0% and undiluted Diacid were tested to establish the irritation threshold of the material. The maximum non-irritating concentration of the test material was used during induction and challenge exposure.

The application sites were graded 24 and 48 hours after the initial insult, 24 and 48 hours after each intermediate insult, and 24 and 48 hours after challenge. None of the animals showed any signs of erythema or edema.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
In a skin sensitisation test according to Buehler, 0.1% Diacid 1550 in propylene glycol did not induce skin sensitisation in albino guinea pigs under the conditions of this test.
Executive summary:

A skin sensitisation study was performed in accordance with the Buehler method to determine the skin sensitising potential of Diacid 1550. Ten albino guinea pigs were used. During induction, each animal was insulted with a single closed patch containing 0.1% Diacid 1550, for a total of nine times. Five weeks after the initial exposure, the 10 test animals and 4 previously untreated controls were challenged with duplicate patches. The application sites were graded for skin reactions 24 and 48 hours after the initial insult, after each intermediate insult and after challenge. None of the exposed animals showed any skin reactions. Thus, the substance was found negative in this in vivo study for skin sensitisation.
