Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 1 (skin sensitising) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
2-methyl-p-phenylenediamine sulphate was applied occlusively on the skin of Hartley albino guinea pigs in the concentration 1% and ) 0.1% in induction and challenge treatment . Sensitization rate for 0.1% test solution was 10% and 1% test solution was 40%. Positive skin sensitization reactions were observed. Hence, 2-methyl-p-phenylenediamine sulphate was considered to be sensitizing to guinea pig’s skin.
Executive summary:

2-methyl-p-phenylenediamine sulphate was used as attest material to evaluate skin sensitization potential on the Hartley albino guinea pigs skin

  In the induction treatment the test material was applied in the concentration 1% in white petrolatum under occlusive patch to the nape of 10 guinea pigsfor 48 hrs three times per week for 2 weeks.The animals were given 2 weeks non treatment period after the induction treatment and before challenge treatment .

  The challenge treatment was givenunder occlusive patch to the flanks of the test animals for 48 hrs and the animals were observed for 24 and 48 hrs after the removal of test material.

  Sensitization rate for 0.1% test solution was 10% and 1% test solution was 40%. Positive skin sensitization reactions were observed. Hence,2-methyl-p-phenylenediamine sulphate  was considered to be sensitizing to guinea pig’s skin.
