Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not sensitising
Remarks:
Migrated information
Conclusions:
Under the conditions of the study dodecanedioic acid is not a skin sensitiser.
Executive summary:

In the Guinea pig maximization test performed within this study, after intradermal and epicutaneous inductions with the test substance dodecanedioic acid none of the 20 guinea pigs showed positive response 24 hours (48 hours) after epicutaneous challenge. Under the conditions of the study dodecanedioic acid does not cause skin sensitisation.
