Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: Not Sensitizing
Conclusions:
The Basic Violet 3 (548-62-9) was considered to be not sensitizing in guinea pig.
Executive summary:

The skin sensitization study of Basic Violet 3 (548-62-9) was performed by Buehler test and the Klecak method for open epicutaneous testing (OET) in 10 guinea pigs.In induction phase, induction given using0.1ml of 10% solution in polyethylene glycol (PG) on left flank (1.8-cm circular area) by topical application for three times weekly ( Monday, Wednesday Friday) for three consecutive weeks. 0.5% 2,4-dinitrochlorobenzene (DNCB) in ethanol used as positive control.

 In challenge phase, After 2 weeks rest period, challenge application given in dose concentration0.1ml of10% , 5%, 2.5% in PG on right flank.Evaluation done 24hr and 48 hr after challenge application. No indication of skin sensitization was observed.Hence it is considered that Basic Violet 3(548-62-9)was not skin sensitizing in guinea pig by Buehler test andthe Klecak method for open epicutaneous testing (OET).
