Details on study design:
RANGE FINDING TESTS:
The test started with the minimum number of animals (5 per sex for the test group and 5 of one sex for controls). After the challenge procedure, it was
not possible to conclude if the test substance is a sensitiser or not and therefore testing in additional animals was performed to give a total of 20 test and 10 controlanimals.

- Site: the neck of the animals
- Duration: 48 h
- Control group: a physiological saline only

B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 6 animals
- Type of application: flank in physiological saline; 2x2 cm patch; 0.2 g per patch
- Site: the neck of the animals
- Duration: 24 h
- Control group: a physiological saline only

Any other information on results incl. tables

After removal of the dressing on day 10, irritation of the epidermal application site was observed in 10/10 control and in 20/20 test group animals.

Body weights were not affected by treatment.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: not classified as a skin sensitiser according to the CLP Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008
Conclusions:
Under the experimental conditions employed, 10 % and 15 % of the animals of the test group showed skin reactions 24 and 48 hours after removing the dressings, respectively.
Executive summary:

The determination of the sensitizing potential was determined by a Maximixation test, according to OECD 406 guideline and GLP. The reaction on the test substance was observed in Guinea Pigs for 48 hours. Induction reactions, challenge reactions and changes in body weight were observed. Under the experimental conditions employed, 10 % and 15 % of the animals of the test group showed skin reactions 24 and 48 hours after removing the dressings, respectively. The test shows low reactions to the test item, up to 15% of positive reaction. Body weights were not affected by treatment.
