RANGE FINDING TESTS:
The entire back and both sides were clipped one day prior to application.
Four animals were exposed to various concentrations of the test substance
Concentration: 15% and 7.5% test substance in acetone
Grading: at 24 hours and 48 hours



MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
Prior to treatment the left shoulder of each animal was clipped with a small animal clipper. 0,3 ml of the freshly prepared test substance were applied to the Hill Top Chambers and placed on the clipped surface of each animal in the test group and secured with rubber dental dam. Animals were immobilized in metal restrainers for 6 hours. After that time patches were taken off and the test substance was removed with a gentle rinse of warm water before returning the animals to their cages. The procedure was repeated at the same site once a week for the next two weeks.
- No. of exposures: 3 induction exposures
- Exposure period: 6 hours
- Test groups: 20 animals were exposed to 0.3 ml of 15 % test substance in ethanol 96 %
- Control group: 10 animals, procedure not described
- Site: upper left quadrant of the back of the test animal
- Frequency of applications: once a week for 3 weeks.
- Duration: 6 hours under occlusion
- Concentrations: 15 % test substance in ethanol 96 %



B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
The animals from the test group as well as from the control group were treated following the same patching procedure as described for induction.
- No. of exposures: one 6 hour exposure
- Day(s) of challenge: two weeks after third induction
- Exposure period: 6 hours under occlusion
- Test groups: 0.3 ml of 7.5 % test substance in acetone
- Control group: 0.3 ml of 7.5 % test substance in acetone
- Site: Patches were applied to a naive skin site
- Concentrations: 7.5 % test substance in acetone
- Evaluation (hr after challenge): 24 and 48 hours after challenge exposure.


OTHER:
Grading of all animals was done by positioning them under a four tube fluorescent type light. The control animals were graded before the test animals according to the Scoring system below.

Scores:
No reaction 0
slight patchy erythema ± (0,5)
Slight, but confluent or moderate
Patchy erythema 1
Moderate erythema 2
Severe erythema with or without edema 3
Challenge controls:
10 control animals were challenged with 7.5 % test substance in acetone
Positive control substance(s):
no

Any other information on results incl. tables

No skin alterations were observed during the induction period with 15 % test substance in ethanol 96 %. After challenge with 7,5 % test article, partly slight, patchy erythema (score 0,5) was observed in the test group in 3/20 animals at the 48 hour reading. The control group showed no skin reactions. Normal weight gains were obseved during the study.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not sensitising
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: other: GHS Regulation EC No 1272/2008
Conclusions:
MDEA-esterquat C16-18 and C18 unsatd. did not induce sensitization in the guinea pig model.
Executive summary:

In a dermal sensitization study according to OECD guideline 406, 12 May, 1981 with MDEA-Esterquat C16-18 and C18 unsatd.  (80 % a.i) in IPA, Pirbright-Hartley guinea pig (10 male and 10 female) were tested using the method of Bühler.

No skin alterations were observed during the induction period with 15 % test substance in ethanol 96%. After challenge with 7.5 % test article no skin reaction was observed in the test group at the 24 hour reading, partly slight, patchy erythema (score 0.5) was observed in 3/20 animals at the 48 hour reading. No skin reactions were observed in the control animals. There was a very slight intergroup difference in skin alteration between test- and control group.

In this study, MDEA-Esterquat C16-18 and C18 unsatd.  is not a dermal sensitizer.
