Any other information on results incl. tables

Very slight erythema (8/20 guinea pigs), well-defined erythema (12/20 guinea pigs) and very slight oedema (18/20 guinea pigs) to slight oedema (1/20 guinea pigs) on day 1 following intradermal injecton.

Very slight erythema (13/20 guinea pigs) well-defined erythema (7/20 guinea pigs) and very slight oedema (13/20 guinea pigs) on day 10 on the left flank of the treatment group guinea pigs following topical application on day 7.

No skin reactions in the guinea pigs from the control group either on day 1 or day 10.

Any positive skin response at 24 or 48 hours post patch removal.

No clinical signs.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
A skin sensitisation rate of 0% at 24 and 48 hours post patch removal was observed using an adjuvant. d-trans Allethrin 75/25 is not considered as skin sensitiser to guinea pigs as the guinea pigs from the treatment group exhibited negative skin response.
