Test guideline
Qualifier:
equivalent or similar to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 406 (Skin Sensitisation)
Version / remarks:
adopted 17 July 1992
Deviations:
yes
Remarks:
animal number: 10 animals in the treatment group and 5 animals in the positive control group
GLP compliance:
no
Remarks:
Remarks: Although not performed under GLP, the data are considered reliable and conclusive for hazard assessment and further testing does not appear scientifically according to Annex XI, 1.1.2 of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006.
Type of study:
Buehler test
Justification for non-LLNA method:
The study was performed in Japan in 2010. At that date the Buehler test was accepted in Japan for testing skin sensitisation. The draft guidance for utilization of the LLNA test as a substitution method for sensitisation was not available in Japan before 2011. Since the considered experimental data are reliable and conclusive for hazard assessment, the data are considered to allow hazard evaluation of the skin sensitising properties of the target substance within this dossier to avoid additional testing.

- Exposure period: 6 h exposure/day, respectively
- Test groups: 100% test substance
- Control group: ethanol
- Positive control group: 1% 1-Chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene (DNCB) in ethanol
- Site: left flank
- Frequency of applications: every 7 days
- Duration: Days 0-14

B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 1 epicutaneous
- Day(s) of challenge: 27 days after epicutaneous induction
- Exposure period: 6 h
- Test groups: 100% and 10% test substance
- Control group: 100% and 10% test substance
- Positive control group: 0.25% 1-Chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene (DNCB) and ethanol
- Site: right flank
- Evaluation (hr after challenge): 24 and 48 h after removal of the challenge application
Challenge controls:
The control group is actually a challenge control.
Positive control: 0.25% (w/w) DNCB and ethanol
Positive control substance(s):
yes
Remarks:
1-Chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene (DNCB)

Results and discussion

Positive control results:
The positive control substance sensitization group was sensitized with 1% solution of DNCB followed by challenge treatments with a 0.25% DNCB solution and ethanol (vehicle). The positive control substance sensitization group showed an erythema score of 2 or 3 in all animals (5/5 animals) at 24 and 48 h after the challenge application of 0.25% DNCB solution, thus the positive rate was 100%. After challenge application of ethanol (vehicle), no skin reactions (0/5 animals) were observed at the end of the 24 and 48 h observation time point.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: CLP/EU GHS criteria not met, no classification required according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
Conclusions:
Challenge with 10% and 100% test substance formulation did not induce skin reactions in any animal in the conducted study. The test substance is not considered to exhibit skin sensitising properties.
