Principles of method if other than guideline:
Potential of Sodium lauryl sulphate to cause contact allergy was assessed in Albino guinea pigs by draize test
GLP compliance:
not specified
Type of study:
Draize test
Justification for non-LLNA method:
The study Albino guinea pigs by draize test is present which confirms the classification of the substacne so the new LLNA study was not conducted

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
sensitising
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The substance Sodium lauryl sulphate was found to be weakly sensitizing to Hartley Albino guinea pigs in 2 weeks study by standard Draize test
Executive summary:

The standard Draize test was carried out todetermine the sensitization potential of Sodium lauryl sulphate. 0.1 ml solution of sodium lauryl sulphate was injected intradermally to 3 to 4 cms square area of skin. The application was repeated every other or three time a week for a total of ten. The site was read 24 hours after each injection. Two weeks after the 10th injection, the animals were challenged by an intradermal injection of 0.05 ml into a fresh skin area. The animal was judged to be sensitized if the reaction was clearly greater than the average reaction of the inducing injections. Sodium lauryl sulphate was found to be weakly sensitizing to skin of guinea pig with score of 1.
