Details on study design:
RANGE FINDING TESTS: Based on the results of a pre-test, 0.25 ml of undiluted test substance was chosen as the highest volume that can be applied without toxicity to the test animals. To ensure sufficient saturation of the gauze, the normal 6 layers were reduced to 3.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not sensitising
Remarks:
Migrated information
Conclusions:
Based on thre results of this study, it ws concluded that vinylpyrrolidone does not have a sensitizing effect on the skin of the guinea pig in the Buehler Test under the test conditions chosen.
Executive summary:

The substance Vinylpyrrolidone was tested for its sensitizing effect on the skin of the guinea pig in the Buehler test based on the method of Buehler, E.V. (1965). During the induction phase the undiluted test substance did not cause any skin reactions in the test group animals. A challenge was performed 14 days after the third induction. After the challenge with the undiluted test substance no skin reactions could be observed in the test group and control group animals.
