Any other information on results incl. tables

No signs of irritation were observed after application of a 10%, 25% and 50% concentration of EEA-NH4.

3H-thymidine incorporation in the auricular lymph nodes in animals treated with a 10% concentration EEA-NH4 was similar to that in vehicle control animals, whereas3H‑thymidine incorporation was statistically significantly enhanced at 25% and 50% concentrations. Stimulation indices (SI’s) of 1.1, 2.2 and 1.9 were calculated in response to a 10%, 25% and 50% EEA-NH4 concentration respectively. Since the SI’s were lower than 3 at all concentrations the results indicated that EEA-NH4 should not be considered a skin sensitiser (a SI of 3 is the limiting value required for classification as a skin sensitiser).
