Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The test substance is considered to possess no skin sensitization (contact allergenic) potential in albino guinea pigs
Executive summary:

With the procedure used in this experiment, no difference between the test groups and the control group were evident after the challenge application of the test substance. The positive skin reactions and their intensity observed after the challenge at 25% correspond to the irritant potential of the test article determined before starting the induction (pretest). The test substance is therefore considered to possess no skin sensitization (contact allergenic) potential in albino guinea pigs
