- Interpretation of results:

- Conclusions:
- Under the conditions of the test it can be concluded that the test substance is a sensitiser to the skin of guinea pigs.
- Executive summary:
To test the skin sensitising potential of the test substance an in vivo skin sensitisation test according to the maximisation test after Magnusson and Kligman was performed on guinea pigs. The test was not performed according to a specific OECD guideline, nevertheless it was performed according to a widely used test protocoll and the results can be regarded as valid and reliable. The test was performed under GLP.
Two experiments were carried out. Because the results of the first experiment were not interpretable a second experiment was performed.
After intradermal induction in the experimental groups reddening, oedemas and some necrotic changes of the skin could be observed. After percutaneous induction reddening and bleeding crusts at the application site were reported.
After the first challenge no reactions could be observed.
After the second challenge in the 3% test substance concentration all animals showed skin reddening and some oedemas. In the 1% test substance group 6/12 animals reacted positively. The control animals remained free of any reactions.Because of the discrepancy of the test results between the first and the second experiment a third challenge was performed. All negativ control animals remained free of any reaction. In the 3% test substance group 5/12 and in the 1% test substance group 4/12 were tested poitive. The results of the second challenge were confirmed with the third challenge results.
The test substance was tested as skin sensitiser in guinea pigs under the condition of the test.
