Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not sensitising
Remarks:
Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The test item is not sensitizing in pirbright white guinea pigs. Classification: not sensitizing
Executive summary:

A key study was performed to determine the skin sensitisation potential of test material in rabbits according to OECD Guideline 406 (Skin Sensitisation).

The test was conducted with the following concentrations

Intradermal: 5 %

Dermal induction: 100 %

Dermal challenge: 100 %

In 1st and 2nd reading at 48 and 72 h respectively at 100 % no reactions were observed other than blue staining of the skin.

Based on the results, the test item is concluded as not sensitizing in pirbright white guinea pigs.
