Remarks on result:
other: Positive control data were not generated as part of this study.
Remarks:
Charles River historical positive control data from a study conducted within 6 months of this test were used to demonstrate the reliability of this test. The positive control group exhibited an incidence index of 0% following challenge exposure. The response requirement for a non-adjuvant positive control group is at least 15%. As a result, a rechallenge was conducted for the positive control group. Following rechallenge, the positive control article, a-hexylcinnamaldehyde (HCA), was a sensitiser when administered as both 10% concentration (20% incidence index) and 20% concentration (80% incidence index), supporting the sensitivity and reliability of the experimental design.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
In the skin sensitisation study, conducted according to OECD 406 TG and in compliance with GLP, the test substance Reaction Mass of bis(trimethoxysilylpropyl)methylphosphonate and (trimethoxysilylpropyl)methylmethylphosphonate was reported to be not sensitising to skin.
