Any other information on results incl. tables

After the intradermal induction the animals in the control group and in the test item group showed strong effects up to encrustation at the injection sites of the first induction.

After the intradermal induction (first induction) the animals in the control group

showed after 48 hours:

• red wheal with red surrounding

• white wheal with red surrounding

• white wheal with encrustation

The animals in the test item group showed after 48 hours:

• red wheal with red surrounding

• white wheal with red surrounding

• encrustation

After 7 days the following effects were recorded at the injection sites in the control

group and in the test item group: red wheal with red surrounding and encrustations.

At day 9, directly after removal of the patch of the second induction, the treatment

area of the second induction showed no skin effects in the animals of the test item

group and the control group.

The challenge with the 25% test item formulation led to skin effects (grade 1) in 7 of 10 animals (70%) in the test item group and no skin effects were seen in the control group animals. In summary, by comparing the results in the treatment group and in the control group under the conditions of the maximization test and with respect to the evaluation criteria the test item therefore exhibits a skin-sensitization potential.

Conclusions:
In summary, under the conditions of the maximization test and with respect to the
evaluation criteria the test item therefore exhibits a skin-sensitization potential.
