Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: skin sensitising according to the CLP Regulation (EC 1272/2008)
Conclusions:
The test item cause skin reactions after challenge in all treated animals.
Executive summary:

Method

The allergenic potential of test substance was assessed in albino guinea pigs by the maximization-test of B. Magnusson and A.M. Kligman (1969), as per OECD guideline 406 .

Five males were used as control group and 10 males were used as test group.

The highest non-irritating test article concentration used for challenge application was 25% in bi-distilled water.

Results

All treated animals of the test group showed erythematous skin reactions 24 and 48 hours after epidermal challenge exposure; no reactions were seen in the negative control group.

Test material is judged skin sensitising.
