Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 1 (skin sensitising) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
Based on the results and applying the evaluation criteria the test substance is predicted to be a skin sensitizer.
Executive summary:

A combination of several in vitro methods addressing key steps of the adverse outcome pathway (AOP) for skin sensitization as defined by OECD, has been conducted to assess the skin sensitizing potential of the test substance,

- protein reactivity (DPRA),

- activation of keratinocytes (LuSens), and

- activation of dendritic cells (MUSST).

In this report, the results of the individual studies are summarized and evaluated to predict the presence or absence of skin sensitizing potential of the test substance.

The combination of test methods and the evaluation of their results has been evaluated and published by Bauch et al., 2012. Based on the performance standards of the OECD test guideline No. 429 (Local Lymph Node Assay, LLNA, OECD 2010), the evaluation based on the DPRA, LuSens and MUSST methods yields an overall accuracy of 95 % compared to results in humans (for comparison: for the same data set the LLNA yielded an overall accuracy of 86 %). A skin sensitizing (quantitative) potency assessment using the reported results was not validated at the time of writing this report.

Based on the results and applying the evaluation criteria the test substance is predicted to be a skin sensitizer.
