- - Irritation screening test:
An irritation screening test was performed to determine the minimal irritating concentration used in the induction period and the highest non-irritating concentration used for the challenge. Four different concentrations (5%, 25%, 50%, 100% diluted with bi-distilled water) were used on each animal for a 6-hour exposure period. 4 guinea pigs were used. Application sites were assessed after 24 and 48 hours.
The most representative concentration to stimulate a state of immune hypersensitivity was 100% used in the induction phase and a concentration of 50% was used in the challenge as the highest non-irritating concentration.
- Main study:
1. Induction
The fur was clipped from the left shoulder of each test animal and the patches applied, over a period of 3 weeks. The animals were treated with the test substance applied undiluted. Each animal received one patch per week which remained in place for approximately 6 hours each. The repeated application was performed at the same site. The interval between exposure was one week. The control animals remained untreated. After the last induction exposure the test animals were left untreated for 2 weeks before the challenge. The skin responses were graded 24 hours after the patches had been removed. Any gross skin reactions were recorded without depilation.
2. Challenge- performed on test day 29
The animals previously exposed during the induction period (i.e. test group) as well as the previously untreated control animals were challenged two weeks after the last induction exposure using the test substance at 50% in bi-distilled water. The fur was clipped from the left posterior quadrant of the side and back of the animals. The exposure period was 6 hours on a naive skin site. The responses were graded at 24 and 48 hours after the patches had been removed.
3. Second challenge
The test group was rechallenged 14 days following primary challenge. All animals in the test group were included in the rechallenge. The test substance was applied on the right cranial flank at 50% in bi-distilled water and on the the right caudal flank at 25% in bi-distilled water.
The grading method used for irritation screen, induction and challenge was identical. The scoring system was performed by visual assessment of erythema, oedema and other clinical changes in skin conditions. They were assessed as follows:
0 = no visible change
1 = discrete or patchy erythema
2 = moderate and confluent erythema
3 = intense erythema and swelling
Grading of all animals was done by positioning each animal under true-light (Philips TLD 36W/84 or Osram 36W/31 830). - Challenge controls:
- During induction the control animals remained antreated. At the challenge the controls were treated the same as the test group. Only the test group was challenged a second time.
- Positive control substance(s):
- yes
- Remarks:
- 2-Mercaptobenzothiazole
Results and discussion
- Positive control results:
- Five out of 10 test animals were observed with discrete/patchy erythema at the 24-hour reading and moderate/confluent erythema was observed at the 48-hour reading in all ten test animals after the challenge treatment with the highest tested non-irritating concentration of 2-Mercaptobenzothiazole at 0.03 % in mineral oil. No skin reactions were observed in the control group.

Any other information on results incl. tables
In the first induction, undiluted material was used and during the challenge, 12 out of 20 animals reacted with discrete erythema after 24 and 48 hours. the challenge was repeated with a purified sample in the sensitized animals. None of the animals reacted to the purified sample. The purification step is always applied to the commercial product.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- Under the study conditions, the substance was not sensitizing to Guinea pig skin.
- Executive summary:
A study was conducted to determine the in vivo skin sensitisation potential of the substance according to OECD Guideline 406, in compliance with GLP. The experiment was performed on male Guinea pigs. For the induction phase, the undiluted test substance was used. During challenge, 12 out of 20 animals reacted with distinct erythema. Therefore, a purified/diluted sample (25%) was prepared for the re-challenge procedure. During the re-challenge with the purified sample, no skin reactions were observed after 24 and 48 h in any animal. Under the study conditions, the substance was not sensitizing to Guinea pig skin (RCC Ltd, 2001).
