- RANGE FINDING TESTS: 6 guinea pigs exposed to neat, 1:2, 1:4 and 1:8 v/v dilutions in mineral oil. 0.5 mL applied for 6 hours and irritation assessed using the Draize scoring system approximately 24 and 48 hours after treatment. No irritation was seen at the 24 hour reading. At the 48 hour reading erythema and oedema were present at the neat site, oedema was present at the 1:2 dilution site and no signs of irritation were seen at the 1:4 and 1:8 v/v dilution sites. Dilutions of 1:2 and 1:4 for the induction and challenge applications, respectively, were selected for use in the main study.

Any other information on results incl. tables
One test animal died following the 3rdinduction. No visible lesions were seen when examined post mortem.
Response grades, severity and incidence following challenge with a 1:4 v/v dilution of E000144700 did not produce a higher response than that observed for the negative control group.
The vehicle control group animals were free of dermal lesions throughout the study period.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- not sensitising
- Remarks:
- Migrated information
- Conclusions:
- E000144700 was not a delayed contact sensitiser.
- Executive summary:
The sensitization potential of E00014470 (CAS 68516-20-1) was investigated in male guinea pigs dermally exposed to a 1:2 v/v dilution of 0.5 mL E000144700 in mineral oil for each of 3 induction phases. Following challenge with a 1:4 dilution response grades, severity and incidence were not greater than those at the control group site. The positive control, DNCB, produced significantly higher responses than in the control group which were free of dermal lesions throughout the study period.
It is concluded that E000144700 (CAS 68516-20-1) is not a skin sensitiser and no classification is warranted under Dir 67/548/EEC or GHS/CLP.
