Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
FAT 11127/C did not show skin-sensitizing potential in albino guinea pigs.
Executive summary:

The test substance FAT 11127/C was tested for skin sensitization potential according to Buehler test as described in OECD Guideline 406. The test was performed on 10 male and 10 female guinea pigs in the test group and 5 males and 5 females in the control group, respectively.

 

Epidermal induction consisted of three epidermal occlusive substance applications on the same skin site for 6 hours each (weeks 1 to 3) at concentration of 50 % test substance in distilled water, a rest period of 13 to 15 days, followed by a challenge period (at test substance concentration of 30 % in distilled water) with epidermal occlusive application of the test article for 6 hours (week 5).

 

No animal of the test group was sensitized by FAT 11127/C under the experimental conditions employed. Hence, FAT 11127/C is considered to have not shown skin-sensitizing potential in albino guinea pigs.
