Details on study design:
RANGE FINDING TESTS:
For the intradermal induction 0.1 mL of the test substance at concentrations of 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5% in arachis oil BP were injected intradermally into the flanks of one animal. The highest concentration (5%) induced mild to moderate skin irritation and was selected for the main study. For the epicutaneous induction 4 animals (intradermally pretreated with FCA) were treated with the undiluted test substance and concentrations of 12.5, 25 and 50% (v/v) in ethanol/diethylphthalate 1:1 (w/w). Applications were made to the clipped flanks under occlusive dressings for 24 hours. Undiluted test article was found to be non irritant when applied topically and was therefore selected for the topical induction phase of the main study. Undiluted test substance and the 50% (v/v) concentration of the test substance were selected for the challenge of the main study.

Any other information on results incl. tables

Following the challenge application of undiluted test substance and 50% (v/v) test substance in ethanol/diethylphthalate 1:1 (w/w), responses for all control and all test animals at the 24 and 48 hour observations were 0. The overall sensitisation rate was 0%.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: CLP/EU GHS criteria not met, no classification according to regulation (EC) No 1272/2008
Conclusions:
Under the conditions of the guinea pig maximisation test the test substance revealed no sensitising properties.
