Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The test item produced a 0% (0/10) sensitisation rate and was classified as a non-sensitizer to guinea pig under the conditions of the test.
Executive summary:

The sensitization potential of the test item was investigated using the maximization method according to Magnusson and Kligman (OECD TG 406) in guinea pigs in accordance with the principles of GLP. 10 male test and 5 male control animals were used for the study. For selection of the test concentrations to be used in the main study, irritation screens following intradermal and topical administration of test substance were performed. After intradermal injection of 0.1, 0.5, 1 and 5% (v/v) the degree of erythema was assessed. Due to severe skin reactions the animals treated with 1% and 5% were killed for humane reasons following the 24 hour observation. 0.1% causing mild to moderate irritation was selected for the intradermal induction treatment for the main study. Screening for topical induction concentrations were performed using 75%, 50%, 25%, 5%, 1%, 0.5% and 0.1% (v/v) test substance in water. Due to severe dermal reactions the animals treated with 25% and higher were killed for humane reasons immediately after the 1 hour observation. 5% test item in water which was tolerated systemically and produced only mild to moderate dermal irritation was selected for the topical induction stage of the main study and 5% as well as 1% for the dermal challenge tretament. Patches for both topical induction and challenge were kept in contact with the skin under occlusive conditions for 48 and 24 hours respectively. Following the topical induction, discrete or patchy to moderate erythema was elicited by the test material in all animals from the test and control group. However, no skin reactions were noted at the challenge sites (5% and 1%) of the test or control group animals at the 24 or 48 hour observations. Based on the results, the test item produced a 0% (0/10) sensitisation rate and is considered to be a non-sensitiser to guinea pigs under the conditions of the test.
