Materials and methods

Principles of method if other than guideline:
- Principle of test: DUP was tested in a 104 person panel human repeated insult patch test (HRIPT) using the modified Draize procedure
- Short description of test conditions: see below
- Parameters analysed / observed: see below
GLP compliance:
not specified
Type of study:
patch test
Justification for non-LLNA method:
An appropriate patch test in human is available which would not justify conducting an additional LLNA due to animal welfare.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: No category (CLP Regulation EC no. 1272/2008)
Conclusions:
DUP was found without skin sensitization potential in a human repeated insult patch test (HRIPT).

Executive summary:

Diundecyl phthalate was tested in a 104-person panel human repeated insult patch test (HRIPT) using the modified Draize procedure. Undiluted 100% DUP was used for the induction and challenge phases based upon a 24-h occluded irritation test on 15 panelists. The induction phase consisted in 9 applications of the test material to the same site, with a contact period of 24 h per application, and the challenge phase consisted in 1 application of 24 h to a naive site located away from the application site. Under the conditions of this HRIPT, no evidence of dermal irritation or sensitization was observed in the 104-person panel. These HRIPT data provide evidence for the lack of experimental skin sensitization potential for DUP in humans.
