Details on study design:
RANGE FINDING TESTS: Pretest
In the preliminary test after two 24-h percutaneous occlusive applications within 96 hours up to 50% test substance preparations in aqua dest. (Higher concentrations could not be prepared) no irritant concontration was found.
Applicability: it was possible to inject a 5% test substance preparation in aqua dest. resp. in Freund's adjuvant/aqua dost. (1 : 1) with a syringe.

Justification for classification or non-classification

The available data on sensitisation do not meet the criteria for classification according to Regulation (EC) 1272/2008, and are therefore conclusive but not sufficient for classification.
