Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not sensitising
Remarks:
Migrated information
Executive summary:

A GLP guideline Buehler sensitisation study was performed on guinea pigs using 2 -(2-butoxyethoxy)ethyl acetate as the test substance. Induction was carried out using three 6 hour exposures over a period of two weeks, with a single challenge carried out after a further two weeks. No irritation was noted after the induction exposures and no sensitisation reaction was noted after the challenge exposure at either of the two observation times.
