Description of key information
Based on the available data, it can be concluded that chemical Tridecanol (CAS no: 112-70-9) is unable to cause skin sensitization and thus can be considered as not sensitizing. Comparing the above annotations with the criteria of CLP regulation, it can be classified under the category “Not Classified”

- RANGE FINDING TESTS: The pretest was performed to determine the primary irritating threshold concentration of test substances at various concentrations (100, 30, 10 and 3%). In this test, a single application of 0.025 ml of each test concentration was simultaneously performed on one of the areas measuring 2 cm2 of the flank skin previously clipped and marked with a circular stamp. Reactions are read 24 h after the application of the test material. On the basis of pretest, the concentration selected for sensitization test was 4%.

- Executive summary:
An Open Epicutaneous Test (OET) was performed on guinea pigs to assess the skin sensitization potential of test chemical. The pretest was performed to determine the primary irritating threshold concentration of test substances at various concentrations (e.g, 100,30,10 and 3%). In this test, a single application of 0.025 ml of each test concentration was simultaneously performed on one of the areas measuring 2 cm2 of the flank skin previously clipped and marked with a circular stamp. Reactions are read 24 h after the application of the test material. On the basis of pretest, the concentration selected for sensitization test was 4 %. On day 1 during induction, 0.1 ml of the test chemical was applied at concentrations of 4 % in vehicle to an area measuring 8 cm2 on the clipped flank skin of the guinea pigs. The applications are repeated daily for 3 weeks or done 5 times weekly during 4 weeks, usually on the same skin sites. The application sites were left uncovered and the reactions, if continuous daily applications were performed, can be read 24 h after each application, or at the end of each week. To determine whether or not contact sensitization was induced, all groups of guinea pigs previously treated for 21 days, as well as 10 untreated, or only pretreated with the vehicle, controls are tested on days 21 and 35 on the contralateral flank with the test material. This test was performed by applying with a pipette 0.025 ml of chemical to skin areas measuring 2 cm2. The reactions were read after 24, 48 and/or 72h. It was observed that none of the guinea pigs induced contact sensitization at challenge concentration of 4%.Thus the test chemical was considered to be not sensitizing on skin of guinea pigs at concentration of 4% in an Open Epicutaneous Test (OET).

WoE 1:
An Open Epicutaneous Test (OET) was performed on guinea pigs to assess the skin sensitization potential of test chemical. The pretest was performed to determine the primary irritating threshold concentration of test substances at various concentrations (e.g, 100,30,10 and 3%). In this test, a single application of 0.025 ml of each test concentration was simultaneously performed on one of the areas measuring 2 cm2 of the flank skin previously clipped and marked with a circular stamp. Reactions are read 24 h after the application of the test material. On the basis of pretest, the concentration selected for sensitization test was 4 %. On day 1 during induction, 0.1 ml of the test chemical was applied at concentrations of 4 % in vehicle to an area measuring 8 cm2 on the clipped flank skin of the guinea pigs. The applications are repeated daily for 3 weeks or done 5 times weekly during 4 weeks, usually on the same skin sites. The application sites were left uncovered and the reactions, if continuous daily applications were performed, can be read 24 h after each application, or at the end of each week. To determine whether or not contact sensitization was induced, all groups of guinea pigs previously treated for 21 days, as well as 10 untreated, or only pretreated with the vehicle, controls are tested on days 21 and 35 on the contralateral flank with the test material. This test was performed by applying with a pipette 0.025 ml of chemical to skin areas measuring 2 cm2. The reactions were read after 24, 48 and/or 72h. It was observed that none of the guinea pigs induced contact sensitization at challenge concentration of 4%.Thus the test chemical was considered to be not sensitizing on skin of guinea pigs at concentration of 4% in an Open Epicutaneous Test (OET).
WoE 2:
These results are supported by a Draize test conducted in Himalayan white-spotted guinea pigs (male and female) to determine the skin sensitization potential of the test chemical. In this test, the 6-8 guinea pigs received a dose of 0.05 ml of a 0.1 % solution of the chemical tested in isotonic saline intradermally on day 0 and further doses of 0.1 ml each were injected on 9 alternate days (total dose = 0.95 mg). The treated animals and untreated controls were challenged intradermally with 0.05 ml of a 0.1 per cent solution on days 35 and 49. The evaluation criterion was the mean diameter of the popular reactions. None of the treated animals showed positive skin reactions. Hence, the test chemical was considered to be not sensitizing to the skin of Himalayan white-spotted guinea pigs.
WoE 3:
These results are further supported by a sensitization study performed according to Modified Draize method in 10 Inbred Hartley strain albino guinea pigs to determine the sensitization potential of the test chemical. The preliminary irritation tests were done in guinea pigs to determine concentrations suitable for sensitization testing [injection challenge concentration(ICC) and application challenge concentration(ACC)]. In the induction phase, the total dose was administered on one occasion as 4 intradermal injections, each 2.5 times the ICC (2.5X 0.1). Fourteen days later each animal was challenged intradermally in one flank and topically in the other with 0.1 ml aliquots of test substance at the respective ICC and ACC (0.1 and 10 respectively). Twenty-four hours later the reactions were observed. In the absence of sensitization reactions at first challenge the induction and challenge procedures were repeated, and apparent sensitization reactions confirmed 7 days later by a second challenge with controls included. Based upon the second challenge, it can be concluded that the test chemical was considered to be non-sensitizing to the skin of albino Hartley guinea pigs at 0.1% ICC and 10% ACC concentrations.
WoE 4:
The above results are further supported by a human maximization study carried out on 25 human volunteers to determine skin sensitization potential caused by the test chemical. 3% test chemical in petrolatum was applied to the skin of 25 human volunteers and later observed for signs of contact allergy. None of the volunteers showed any signs of contact sensitization. Hence the test chemical was considered to be not sensitizing to the skin of human volunteers.
By applying the weight of evidence approach, the test chemical can be considered to be not sensitizing to skin. Comparing the annotations with criteria of CLP regulation, the test chemical can be classified under the category "Not Classified".
