Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: CLP criteria not met
Conclusions:
Not sensitising
Executive summary:

The substance was tested according to OECD 406, EU Method B.6 and according to Mangusson, B., Kligman, A.M., 1970. " Allergenic Contact Dermatitis in the Guinea-Pig: Identification of Contact Allergens". During the test 5 males and 5 females guinea pigs were used as control group, treated with vehicle only during the Induction test and 10 males and 10 females were used as test group, treated with test article during the all parts of the experiment.

The test shows low reactions to the test item, up to 15% of positive reaction.
