Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The test substance did not induce sensitisation in guinea pigs in a maximisation test.
Executive summary:

In a Maximisation test in guinea pigs performed in agreement with the protocol as described in OECD 406, a challenge with 30% of the test substance did not induce any skin reaction. It is concluded that the test substance does not induce sensitisation.
