Interpretation of results:
not sensitising
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
sodium methallylsulfonate is not a sensitiser
Executive summary:

sodium methallylsulfonate was tested for skin sensitising properties in a Magnusson-Kligmann skin sensitisation test. 20 female animals were induced with a 5% concentration intradermally and a 25% concetration epicutaneously, with and without Frund's complete adjuvant. (water and CFA respectively only in 10 controls) . After epicutaneous challenge 14 days after, none of the test animals and none of the controls showed any sign of redness or edema at 24 and 48 hours after challenge. The test substance is not a skin sensitiser.

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no adverse effect observed (not sensitising)
Additional information:
Migrated from Short description of key information:
0/20 test animals and 0/10 controls showed signs of redness or edema . Not a sensitiser

Justification for selection of skin sensitisation endpoint:
OECD protocol study

Respiratory sensitisation

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no study available

Justification for classification or non-classification

key study shows that the substance is not a skin sensitiser in a maximisation test. Therefore it must not be classified
