Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
sensitising
Remarks:
Migrated information
Conclusions:
In an LLNA study in mice, a stimulation index of greater than 3 was recorded for the three concentrations of the test material (10%, 25% and 50%).
No signs of systemic toxicity were observed in test or control animals during the study period. Very dark re-coloured staining of the fur was noted in test animals one hour post dosing throughout the study period. Based on the results of this study, the test substance is considered a skin sensitizer.
