Maximum concentration not causing irritating effects in preliminary test: 10 % Signs of irritation during induction: Well-defined erythema was noted at the intradermal induction sites of all test group animals at the 24 and 48-hour observations. Very slight erythema was noted at the intradermal induction sites of all control group animals at the 24-hour observation and in four control group animals at the 48-hour observation. Very slight to well-defined erythema was noted at the induction sites of all test group animals at the 1-hour observation with very slight erythema at the induction sites of nine test group animals at the 24-hour observation. 50 Bleeding from the intradermal induction sites was noted in five test group animals at the 1-hour observation. Residual test material was noted in all test group animals. Bleeding from the intradermal induction sites was noted in one control group animal at the 1-hour observation. No signs of erythema or oedema were noted at the treatment sites of control group animals at the 1 and 24-hour observations. Evidence of sensitisation of each challenge concentration: Number of animals showing evidence of senitisation at each challenge concentration: 0/10. Other observations: Bodyweight gains of animals in the test group, between day 0 and day 24, were comparable to those in the control group.

Interpretation of results:
other: not classified
Remarks:
Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The test substance was not sensitizing on Dunkin-Hartley guinea pigs in an EU Annex V test (1998) conducted under GLP.
Executive summary:

The test substance was not sensitizing on Dunkin-Hartley guinea pigs in an EU Annex V test (1998) conducted under GLP. The test results are considered as valid, and the study is selected as key.

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no adverse effect observed (not sensitising)
Additional information:
Migrated from Short description of key information:
The test substance is not sensitizing, based on an EU B.6 and OECD 406 test under GLP on Albino Hartley guinea pigs.

Justification for selection of skin sensitisation endpoint:
A valid GLP study conducted under EU Annex V Guideline (1998). Another valid supporting study with similar test result.

Respiratory sensitisation

Endpoint conclusion
Additional information:
Justification for selection of respiratory sensitisation endpoint:
The substance we register as importer is included as an additive in a polymer matrix. The pure substance as such is not available; this route of exposure is not likely.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on available evidence on valid GLP tests on guinea pigs, the test substance is not a skin sensitizer.
