Maximum concentration not causing irritating effects in preliminary tests: 10%.

Signs of irritation during induction: well defined erythema was noted at the intradermal induction sites of all test group animals at the 24 and 48 -hour observations.

Very slight erythema was noted at the intradermal induction sites of all control group animals at the 24 -hour observation and in four control group animals at the 48 -hour observation.

Very slight to well-defined erythema was noted at the induction sites of all test group animals at the 1 -hour observation with very slight erythema at the induction sites of nine test group animals at the 24 -hour observation.

Bleeding from the intradermal industion sites was noted in five test group animals at the 1 -hour observation. Residual test material was noted in all test group animals. Bleeding from the intradermal induction sites was noted in one control group animal at the 1 -hour observation. No signs of erythema or oedema were noted at the treatement sites of control group animals at the 1 and 24 -hour observations.

Evidence of sensitisation of each challenge concentration:

Number of animals showing evidence of sensitisation at each challenge concentration: 0/10.

Other observations: bodyweight gains of animals in the test group, between day 0 and day 24, were comparable to those in hte control group.

Interpretation of results:
not sensitising
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: not specified
Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no adverse effect observed (not sensitising)
Additional information:

There are two available studies to determine if the substance is skin sensitising or not. Both of them were done following GLP.

In a study performed in 1993 according to OECD Guideline 406, no positive reaction was observed.

In a study performed in 1998 according to EU Test Method B6 (Guinea pig maximisation test), no positive reaction was observed.


Migrated from Short description of key information:
There isn't any positive reaction observed in both of the studies done.

Justification for selection of skin sensitisation endpoint:
There are two test results available, with same results.
This endpoint has been selected because the information given is better described.

Respiratory sensitisation

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no study available

Justification for classification or non-classification

The available experimental test data are reliable and suitable for classification purposes under Regulation 1272/2008. The values obtained have been compared to criteria set up in the Annex I of the Regulation (section 3.4). As a result the substance is not considered to be classified as skin sensitising under Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.
