- Route:
- intradermal
- Concentration / amount:
- 0.1% / 0.1 ml
- Route:
- epicutaneous, occlusive
- Concentration / amount:

Challengeopen allclose all
- Route:
- intradermal
- Concentration / amount:
- 0.1 ml
- Route:
- epicutaneous, occlusive
- Concentration / amount:
- 0.5 ml
- No. of animals per dose:
- 10
- Details on study design:
- Three applications per week for three weeks with a challenge two weeks after the last application.
The dermal application wad made using 0.5 ml of the test sustance on a 1 x 1 inch, four layer pad covered by an Elastopatch and further covered by rubber damming. The animals were then placed in a specially designed holder for a 6-hour exposure period. The intracutaneous application was made by injecting 0.1 ml of the test material.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- study cannot be used for classification
- Conclusions:
- The results were entirely negative.
