Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
sensitising
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Cutaneous reactions attributable to the sensitization potential of the test item were observed in 100% of the test animals. The reactions are not attributable to the solvent Isodecan
Executive summary:

In a dermal sensitization study with Di-(2-Ethylhexyl)-Peroxydicarbonate (2.5%) in isododecan,40 Dunkin-Hartley Guinea Pigs (10/sex) were tested using the method of Magnusson and Klingman (GPMT). Positive control was 2,4-dinitro chlorobenzene; Isododecan was tested as solvent control.
In the treated group, marked cutaneous reactions, similar on both flanks, were observed. Slight to severe erythema (grade 1 to 4) were noted in all animals at the 24 h and the 48 h readings. These reactions were attributed to a sensitizing effect in 100% treated animals. No clinical signs and no mortality were observed. The body weight gain was normal.

 In this study, Chemical Di-(2-Ethylhexyl)-Peroxydicarbonate is a dermal sensitizer.
