- Details on study design:
- RANGE FINDING TESTS: A preliminary skin irritation study was conducted in order to determine a slightly irritating dose level as well as to establish the highest non-irritating concentration of the test substance. Guinea pigs were clipped free of hair on the left and right side the day prior to dosing. Single application of a 0.4 mL aliquot of a 0.1, 0.5, 1, 5 or 10% solution of the test substance in distilled water was topically applied to the skin for 6 h, in up to 3 application sites per animal. 2 guinea pigs were used per dose level. Based on the results of this preliminary skin irritation study, the dose levels 1, 5 and 10% solutions of the test substance in distilled water produced moderate to marked erythemas after 24 and 48 h, respectively. The treatment group exposed to the dose level of 0.5% showed slight erythema in 1/2 guinea pigs at the 48-h reading time point. No erythema were observed in both animals at the 0.1% dose level. Edema were not determined in all treatment groups at the 24- and 48-h reading time points, respectively. Thus, based on the results of this study, a dose level of 0.1% was considered to be the highest non-irritant concentration and 0.5% the highest concentration causing mild-to-moderate skin irritation.

Endpoint conclusion
- Endpoint conclusion:
- no adverse effect observed (not sensitising)
- Additional information:
A Guinea pig maximisation test was performed with the test substance according to OECD guideline 406 and under GLP conditions (The Toxicological Research Laboratory, 1994). A range-finding study was performed to establish suitable dose levels for the induction and challenge treatments. In the main study, 10 male Hartley guinea pigs received three dermal applications each of a 0.5% suspension of the test substance in distilled water for 6 hours under occlusive conditions during the three-week induction period. Two weeks thereafter, the challenge treatment was performed by topical application of the test substance as a 0.1% suspension in distilled water for 6 hours under occlusive conditions. Observations were made 24 and 48 hours after challenge treatment. Ten naïve male guinea pigs served as control, 5 from those received a 0.1% solution of the test substance in distilled water and 5 received the positive control. Challenge application with the positive control caused slight to moderate erythema, considered to reflect a hypersensitivity response, at the test site on nine of ten animals, with no effect noted in the corresponding naïve control animals. Examination of the application sites at challenge reading time points 24 and 48 h revealed no skin reaction in any of the 10 animals tested; thus, the test substance was not a skin sensitizer under the test conditions used.
Respiratory sensitisation
Endpoint conclusion
- Endpoint conclusion:
- no study available
Justification for classification or non-classification
The available data on skin sensitisation with the test substance sodium 2-biphenylate (CAS 132-27-4) do not meet the criteria for classification according to Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008, and are therefore conclusive but not sufficient for classification.
