Challenge and rechallenge elicited no response in either test or irritation control groups at 24 or 48-hour evaluations. Conversely, 80% and 100% positive response in the DCNB-inducted and challenged groups at 24-hour and 48-hour evaluations, respectively, confirmed the validity of the test system

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Under the conditions of the study, the test material exhibited no potential to produce sensitization in mice.
Executive summary:

The test substance was evaluated for dermal sensitization in 20 female CF-1 mice by mouse ear swelling test according to Gad, S.C. et al.: Toxicol. Appl. Pharmacol. 84, 93-114. Following induction, the challenge was administered by topical application of 50% solution on day 10. A rechallenge was performed 7 days later with a topical application of 50% solution. Challenge and rechallenge elicited no response in either test or irritation control groups at 24 or 48-hour evaluations. In contrast, 80% and 100% positive response in the DCNB-inducted and challenged groups at 24-hour and 48-hour evaluations, respectively, confirmed the validity of the test system.

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no adverse effect observed (not sensitising)
