Results
Remarks on result:
positive indication of skin sensitisation

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 1 (skin sensitising) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
Palladium dichloride was a potent skin sensitiser in a GPMT.
Executive summary:

The skin sensitising potential of palladium dichloride was investigated in a guinea pig maximisation test (GPMT). Animals were induced with test material (0.03 and 2.5 % in water) by the intradermal and epidermal routes, respectively, following pretreatment with Freund's complete adjuvant. Epidermal challenge (0.63 -1.25% in saline) indicated that palladium dichloride was a potent skin sensitiser in the GPMT.
