MAIN STUDY
ANIMAL ASSIGNMENT AND TREATMENT
- Name of test method: Local Lymph Node Assay
- Criteria used to consider a positive response: SI > 3
Positive control substance(s):
other: Phenylene diamine
Positive control results:
SI = 7.2 (mean 5 animals) with Phenylene diamine
Parameter:
SI
Remarks on result:
other: Concentration SI 6.25% 13.6 12.5% 13.3 25% 13.3
Parameter:
other: disintegrations per minute (DPM)
Remarks on result:
other: Concentration DPM 6.25% 4303 12.5% 4193 25% 4195
Interpretation of results:
sensitising
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The substance is classified as a skin sensitiser under EU criteria
Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
adverse effect observed (sensitising)
Additional information:

The test substance at three concentrations gave a dose-dependent SI response of > 3 indicating that the test substance may be a non-threshold skin sensitiser.


Migrated from Short description of key information:
Substance tested for skin sensitisation in mouse local lymph node assay

Respiratory sensitisation

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no study available

Justification for classification or non-classification

Substance gave a dose-independent SI response of 13 and is therefore classified as a skin sensitiser
