TREATMENT
Sensitisation was induced in guinea pigs by intradermal injections of both test material and Freund's Complete Adjuvant and the induction process supplemented 6-7 days later by test material applied to the shoulder injection sites under occlusion. 12-14 days later the animals were challenged by occluded patch: further challenges were made at weekly or longer intervals as required.

- induction (intradermal injection): 0.25 %
- induction (covered patch application): neat
- challenge (covered patch application): 25 %

EVALUATION- SCORING SYSTEM
- Challenge patches were applied for 24 hours. Skin reaction sites examined 24 and 48 hours after removal of the patches, and scored according to the following:

Intradermal Injection:
fp = Faint pink
pp = Pale pink
p = Pink
dp = Deep pink
el = Elevation/oedema
n = Necrosis
w = White centre

Occluded Patch
0 = No reaction
0.5 = Very faint erythema (usually non-confluent)
1 = Faint erythema (usually confluent)
2 = Moderate erythema
3 = Marked erythema
Sp = Small spots of erythema
n = Necrosis
el = Elevation/oedema
w = White centres
Challenge controls:
Treated controls were used in the first and second challenges, untreated controls were used in the third and fourth challenges.

- Evidence of sensitisation seen in one animal at challenge one was not confirmed at subsequent challenges. Two animals showed a positive response twice each out of challenges 2, 3 and 4.

- The test material is a very weak sensitiser by this method.

Interpretation of results:
other: Not classified in accordance with EU Criteria
Conclusions:
Under the conditions of this study the test material was determined to be a very weak sensitiser.
Executive summary:

The skin sensitisation potential of the test material was investigated with the Magnusson and Kligman guinea pig maximisation test according to Test Method TM.002.03.

Sensitisation was induced in guinea pigs by intradermal injections of both test material and Freund's Complete Adjuvant and the induction process supplemented 6-7 days later by test material applied to the shoulder injection sites under occlusion. 12-14 days later the animals were challenged by occluded patch: further challenges were made at weekly or longer intervals as required. The concentrations used in the test were: induction (intradermal injection): 0.25 %, induction (covered patch application): neat and challenge (covered patch application): 25 %.

Evidence of sensitisation seen in one animal at challenge one was not confirmed at subsequent challenges. Two animals showed a positive response twice each out of challenges 2, 3 and 4.

Under the conditions of this study the test material was determined to be a very weak sensitiser.

Additional information:

The skin sensitisation potential of the test material was investigated with the Magnusson and Kligman guinea pig maximisation test according to Test Method TM.002.03. The study was awarded a reliability score of 2 in accordance with the criteria set forth by Klimisch et al. (1997).

Justification for classification or non-classification

In accordance with the criteria for classification as defined in Annex I, Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, the substance does not require classification with skin sensitisation.
