Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: not sensitizing
Conclusions:
No dermal reactions were observed 24 hours after the challenge exposure. Hence the test chemical was considered to be not sensitizing to skin.
Executive summary:

The allergenic potential of the test chemical was determined in guinea pigs. 5 male guinea pigs were injected intra cutaneously with a volume of 0.1 ml of the test chemical on day 1, then 9 volumes of 0.2 ml of the test chemical on alternate days.


2 weeks after last induction injection, the guinea pigs were challenged with 0.1 ml of the test chemical via intracutaneous injection. The sites were evaluated 24 hours later for signs of dermal sensitization.


No dermal reactions were observed 24 hours after the challenge exposure. Hence the test chemical was considered to be not sensitizing to skin.
