Justification for non-LLNA method:
According to Annex XI section 1.1.2. of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (REACH) testing of skin sensitisation in an in vivo LLNA is not necessary if there are data that is generated by studies not carried out according to GLP or the test methods reffered to in Article 13 (3) of the same regulation if the data is sufficcient for the purpose of classification and labelling and/or risk assessment, if the key parameters foreseen to be investigated in the recommended methods are reliably covered, the exposure duration is similar to that of the recommended methods and if the study is adequate and reliable documented. The present GPMT was conducted according to OECD guideline 406, which is reliable without restrictions and adequate for classification and labelling purposes. It is well documented, measures the recommended key parameters and exposure duration is comparable to an in vivo LLNA. Thus, due to the provided reliable and adequate data the perfomance of an in vivo LLNA is not necessary. Furthermore, the study was conducted prior to regulatory implementation of the LLNA method.

Details on study design:
Preliminary study:
Intradermal injections (0.1 mL/site) were made into the clipped flank of two guinea-pigs at concentrations of 5% (right flank), 3%, 1% and 0.5%
(left flank) of the test article in acetone/bi-distilled water 1:1. The resulting dermal reactions were assessed 24 hours later.
Epidermal applications:
Patches of filter paper (2 x 2 cm) were saturated with concentrations of 25%, 15%, 10% and 5% of the test article in acetone/bi-distilled water 1:1 and applied to the clipped and shaved flanks of each of four guinea-pigs. The patches were covered by a strip of aluminum foil and firmly secured by elastic plaster wrapped around the trunk and covered with impervious adhesive tape. This procedure ensured the intensive contact of the test articleeven if it is insoluble in the vehicle used. The dressings were removed after an exposure period of 24 hours·and the reaction sites were assessed for erythema and edema on a numerical basis according to the scale described above. Further examination of the sites were performed 24 and 48 hoursafter removal of the dressings. Prior to the first reading, the epidermal application sites were gently washed off excess test article with acetone.

RANGE FINDING TESTS:
Selection of concentration for intradermal injection: Four animals were intradermally injected with 5%, 1%, 0.5% and 0.1% (w/v) preparations of the test material in arachis oil BP. The highest concentration that did not cause local necrosis, ulceration or systemic toxicity, was selscted for the intradermal induction stage of the main study (i.e.: 0.1%).
Selection of concentration for topical induction: Two guinea pigs (intrdermally injected with Freund´s Complete Adjuvant seven days earlier) were treated with 50%, 25%, 10% and 5% (w/w) preparations of the test material in arachis oil BP. The highest practical concentration producing only mild to moderate dermal irritation after 48-hour occlusive exposure, was selected for the topical induction stage of the main study (i.e.: 50%).
Selection of concentrations for topical challenge: 50%, 25%, 10% and 5% (w/w) preparations of the test material in arachis oil BP were applied occlusively to the flanks of two guinea pigs for a period of 24 h. These guinea pigs had been treated identically to the control animals of the main study, up to day 14. The maximum practical non-irritant concentration of the test material was selscted for the topical challenge stage of the main study (i.e.: 10%).

Conclusions:
In the present study conducted according to OECD guideline 406, thirty female guinea pigs were exposed to intradermal and topic induction with either 0.1% (w/v) or 50% (w/w) Compimide 183 in arachis oil (topic induction 1 week). after 14 days of recovery the animals were exposed to 10%(w/w) test item topically and the skin reactions were recorded at 1h, 24h, 48 and 72h. All animals from the test group exhibited an extented reaction site and edema after 24h. After 48h desquamation occurred and the adverse reactions actually prevent the evaluation of erythema after 72 h. Thus, the substance is considered to be sensitizer and is classified into Category 1 A according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 (CLP) and the globally harmonized system for classificagtion of chemicals (GHS).
Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
adverse effect observed (sensitising)
Additional information:

No experimental data on skin sensitisation are available for the target substance Compimide 183. However, reliable data from skin sensitisation studies conducted with the closely related source substances MDAB and ABH are available. A justification for read-across is given in IUCLID section 13

Skin Sensitisation:

In a skin sensitisation study conducted according to OECD guideline 406, 20 Himalayan guinea pigs were exposed to MDAB using the method of Magnusson and Kligman. Further 10 animals were used for the control group. Positive control substance was Formaldehyde-solution, 20% dilution in bi-distilled water. The animals were exposed intradermally and epicutaneously to 3 % (w/w), single exposure, or 25 % (w/w) solution of the test substance, exposure period of 48 h, respectively. 14 days after the induction procedure the animals were challenged for 24 h with 15 % and 25% (w/w) solution of the test substance applied epicutaneously. The test item was applied in acetone/bi-distilled water (1:1) as solvent. The reading timepoints were 24 h and 48 h after end of the exposure. None of the animals showed any indication of sensitisation.

In this study MDAB is not considered to be a sensitizer.

In a supporting study conducted according to OECD guideline 406, thirty female guinea pigs were exposed to intradermal and topic induction with either 0.1% (w/v) or 50% (w/w) MDAB in arachis oil (topic induction 1 week). After 14 days of recovery the animals were exposed to 10%(w/w) test item topically and the skin reactions were recorded at 1h, 24h, 48 and 72h. All animals from the test group exhibited an extented reaction site and edema after 24h. After 48h desquamation occurred and the adverse reactions actually prevent the evaluation of erythema after 72 h.

Thus, MDAB is considered to be sensitizer.

Under the conditions of the study conducted according to OECD guideline 406, no allergenic potency of MDAB was concluded. The results were interpreted according to the rating of Magnusson and Kligman (1970). According to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 (CLP) and the Globally Harmonized System for Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS), this test article is considered to be not a sensitizer and thus, does not need to be classified.

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no study available

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the available results for the structurally similar substance MDAB and because the final product of Compimide 183 still contains 50% free MDAB, Compimide is considered to be a senitizer and classified 'Category 1A' according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 (CLP) and the Globally Harmonized System for Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) for precautionary reasons.
