Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
no guideline followed
Principles of method if other than guideline:
Available studies provide sufficient evidence that ethanedinitrile does not have skin sensitisation properties. Therefore LLNA study was not conducted
GLP compliance:
no
Type of study:
not specified
Justification for non-LLNA method:
Available studies provide sufficient evidence that ethanedinitrile does not have skin sensitisation properties. Therefore LLNA study was not conducted

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: CLP criteria not met
Conclusions:
Dermal exposure of rabbits to ethanedinitrile gas in an acute toxicity study indicates that ethanedinitrile is not a skin sensitiser. Dermal exposure of rabbits to 10,000 ppm (~21 g/m3) of ethanedinitrile for eight hours, did not result in any clinical observations or macroscopic effects.
Executive summary:

Dermal exposure of rabbits to ethanedinitrile gas in an acute toxicity study indicates that ethanedinitrile is not a skin sensitiser. Dermal exposure of rabbits to 10,000 ppm (~21 g/m3) of ethanedinitrile for eight hours, did not result in any clinical observations or macroscopic effects.
