Executive summary:

In a Guinea PigMaximization Test according to OECD TG 400 (Magnusson and Klingman) male guinea pigs were tested with following concentrations of the test substance:

1st application: Induction 2.5 % intracutaneous

2nd application: Induction 12 % occlusive epicutaneous

3rd application: Challenge 6 % and 3% occlusive epicutaneous

The test substance was formulated as an emulsion with Cremophor EL in sterile physiological saline solution (2% V/V).

No skin reddening was observed after the provocation with 6% and 3% of test substance neither in the test animals nor in the control animals. The test substance therefore shows no skin sensitating potential (Bayer AG 1993).
