Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
maximum sensitisation rate: 5% in the experimental group (50% challenge concentraion).
PR-1577 has weak sensitising properties in this test applying the rating of allergenicity described by Kligman AM (1966).
Based on the criteria of EEC Directive 91/325/EEC, Amendment to Annex VI of EEC DIrective 67/548/EEC PR-1577 need not be labelled as a skin sensitiser.
GHS/CLP criteria are not met.
