Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Executive summary:

The Guinea Pig Maximization Test (GPMT) was performed on male guinea pigs to determine whether the test substance MACROLEX ORANGE R exhibits skin-sensitizing properties.

The study was conducted with the following test substance concentrations:

lntradermal induction: 1 %

Topical induction: 25%

Challenge: 6%

For the induction and the challenge treatment the test substance was formulated in propylene glycol to yield a suspension.

72 hours after the challenge the 6% test substance formulation led to skin reddening (grade 1) in 1/10 (10%) animals in the test group, but not after 48 hours. The challenge with a 6% test substance formulation showed no skin effects in the control group animals.

Under the conditions of the maximization test the test substance thus exhibits no skin-sensitization potential.
