Description of key information

A skin sensitizing study was performed in year 1994 according to OECD 406 and GLP. No positive skin reactions were observed in any of the control-or test group animals following challenge administration.

One animal in the test group showed a slight erythema after 48h. The test item was not sensitizing in guinea pigs.
