Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
3-(dimethylamino)propylurea is not considered to be a guinea pig skin sensitizer.
Executive summary:

The purpose of this study was to assess the potential of 3 -(Dimethylamino)propylurea to elicit skinsensitization (delayed contact hypersensitivity) in guinea pigs. Twenty test and ten control animals wereused in ths study.Based on preliminary tests the following concentrations were determined for the test material applications tobe used in the study:Intradermal induction: 0.1%,Topical induction: 12%,and Initiation: 10%.
A skin sensitization response was observed in one out of ten control animals and in four out of twenty animals treated with 3 -(Dimethylamino)propylurea.

Under the protocol (Magnusson and KligmanMaximization) a 30% response is required foramaterial to be considered a skin sensitizer. These results do not show any indication of the test material having a skin sensitizing effect inguinea pigs.
