Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: Not classified Annex I of the CLP Regulation (1272/2008/EC)
Conclusions:
Based on the results in this study the compound does not need to be classified as a skin sensitizer in accordance with the criteria outlined in Annex I of the CLP Regulation (1272/2008/EC).
Executive summary:

The study was performed to assess the contact sensitisation potential of Methyl Nonyl Ketone in the albino guinea pig. The method was designed to meet the requirements of OECD guideline No. 406, and was performed under GLP. Ten test and five control animals were used for the study. Two phases were involved in the main study; an induction of a response by intradermal injection and topical application and a topical challenge of that response. Based on the results of sighting tests, the concentrations of test material for the induction and challenge phases were selected as: 1 % v/v in arachis oil BP for intradermal induction, undiluted for topical induction, undiluted as supplied and 75% v/v in arachis oil BP for topical challenge. Under the conditions of the test, the test material produced a 0% sensitisation rate.The test material therefore does not need to be classified as a skin sensitizer in accordance with the criteria outlined in Annex I of the CLP Regulation (1272/2008/EC).
