Description of key information
The dermal sensitization potential of the test chemical was assessed in mice according to LLNA method. The study was conducted as per OECD Guidelines 429.
The Stimulations Indices[SI] were 1.2, 2.7, 3.6, 7.9 and 11.4 for the concentrations 1%,5%,10%,25%, 50% respectively.
The calculated EC3 value for the test chemical was 6.7% w/v and 12.96% for the positive control, α- hexylcinnamaldehyde.
Based on the above findings the test chemical can be considered to be sensitizing to skin.

Respiratory sensitisation
Endpoint conclusion
- Endpoint conclusion:
- no study available
Justification for classification or non-classification
Available studies for the test chemical indicate a very strong possibility that the test chemical has the potential to cause moderate sensitization to skin. Hence, the test chemical can be considered to be a skin sensitizer.
