Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
study cannot be used for classification
Conclusions:
Under the conditions of the test, the material does not appear to be a sensitizer.
Executive summary:

10 Hartley albino rats were injection intradermally for 3 consecutive days/week for three weeks. 14 days after the last induction exposure, the animals were challenged in the same manner at a site removed from the sites of the induction treatment.

There was no evidence of a significant increase in these scores to indicate that the test material is a sensitiser.
