After the challenge treatment, two out of 20 animals from the treatment group exhibited a slightly greater infiltration of the corium compared with the control animals.

Since any skin reaction which may have been present could not be determined visually due to the colour of the test substance itself, the evaluation was performed by means of measurement of the skin thickness.

Interpretation of results:
other: not classified under Regulation 1272/2008
Remarks:
Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The substance was tested for skin sensitisation following EU Method B6 (GPMT). Under the experimental conditions the substance does not show any skin sensitizing properties.
Executive summary:

The substance was tested for skin sensitisation following EU Method B6 (GPMT). Under the experimental conditions the substance does not show any skin sensitizing properties.

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
adverse effect observed (sensitising)
Additional information:

The analogue substace was tested for sensitising properties following EU Method B6, GPMT (NONS dossier, 1988).

Guinea Pig were topycally and intradermally induced and then challenged at a concentration of the intradermal at 1% of the test substance. Under the experimental conditions at the 25% dose the results at challenge time is 10% of skin positive reactions.

Based on the read across considerations the same resutls apply to the test item

Respiratory sensitisation

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no study available

Justification for classification or non-classification

A substance is classified as skin sensitizer cat 2 for Guine Pig Maximisation test

when >0.1 to <1% intradermal induction the positive skin reactions are>30 to <60% or

                             at >1% intradermal, the positive skin reactions are >30%

Based on the results of the GPMT the substance is not classified as skin sensitizer.
