Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not sensitising
Remarks:
Migrated information
Conclusions:
The SI values calculated for the substance concentrations 10, 25 and 50% were 1.0, 1.4 and 0.8 respectively.
Since there was no indication that the test substance elicit an SI larger or equal to 3 when tested up to 50%, 4B-Acid was considered to be a non skin sensitizer
