Any other information on results incl. tables

Signs of irritation during induction:

During the first induction, the Draize score was lower for the groups that were injected with the vehicle without test substance than in the group injected with the test substance.

Evidence of sensitisation of each challenge concentration:

While the sensibilized animals did not exhibit a reaction during the challenge, a slight reaction was observed in the animals in the control group after 48 hours.

The reaction to the first challenge was read at 48 hrs only, while the reaction to the rechallenge was read at 24 hrs only. No additional information is available.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 1 (skin sensitising) based on GHS criteria
Remarks:
Migrated information
Conclusions:
It was conluded that GST does not cause any primaty sensittization in guinea-pigs using the Magnusson-Kligman method.

However, the substance needs to be classified as potential skin sensitizer based on human experience in one production plant According to Annex VI of CLP (1272/2008/EC)
