Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
equivalent or similar to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method B.6 (Skin Sensitisation)
Version / remarks:
1992
Deviations:
yes
Remarks:
10 females (+5 controls). When fewer than 20 test and 10 control guinea pigs have been used,its not possible to conclude that the test substance is sensitizer
Principles of method if other than guideline:
Group size: main study: 10 females (+5 controls)
preliminary study: 3 females
Dose levels:
intradermal induction: 0.1% physiological saline
epicutaneous induction: 40% petrolatum
epicutaneous challenge: 40% petrolatum

GLP compliance:
yes
Type of study:
guinea pig maximisation test
Justification for non-LLNA method:
Using available in vivo data. LLNA- method was not available in in 1994.

Any other information on results incl. tables

Following challenge exposure "well defined erythema" or "severe erythema and/or oedema" were observed in all animals (10/10) after 24 h and / or 48 h. One negative control (1/5) also showed a reaction.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 1 (skin sensitising) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
Based on these results DA 060492 (infigofera tinctoria leaf powder) is a sensitizer following skin contact in this maximisation test.
