**=Since the lymph nodes of the animals of a dose group were pooled, DPM/node was determined by dividing the measured value by the number of lymph nodes pooled

Interpretation of results:

not sensitising

Remarks:

Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU

Conclusions:

The test item was not a skin sensitiser under the described conditions.

Executive summary:

In the study the test item suspended in methyl ethyl ketone was assessed for its possible contact allergenic potential.

For this purpose a local lymph node assay was performed using test item concentrations of 5.0, 10.0, and 25.0%.

The animals did not show any clinical signs during the course of the study and no cases of mortality were observed.

Stimulation Indices (S.I) of 2.1 and 2.6 were determined with the test item at concentrations of 5.0 and 25.0 % (w/v) in methyl ethyl ketone, respectively.

A single increased Stimulation Index of 3.9 occurred at the mid concentration (10 %). To verify the result obtained for this concentration, 10 % (w/v) suspended in methyl ethyl ketone were assayed in a second experiment performed under identical conditions. In experiment 2 a Stimulation Index of 1.7 was measured for the concentration of 10 % (w/v) suspended in methyl ethyl ketone. Thus, the value obtained in experiment 1 could not be confirmed.

The test item was not a skin sensitiser in this assay.

Endpoint conclusion

Endpoint conclusion:

no adverse effect observed (not sensitising)
