Executive summary:

In a dermal sensitization study with PMI >99.5% provided by NIPPON SHOKUBAI 7Y09 in paraffin oil, female albino guinea-pigs of the Hartrey/Dunkin strain were tested using the method of OECD 406 "Skin Sensitisation".

The numerical scores awarded to the dermal reactions elicted by the challenge application are positve 20/20.

In this study, PMI is delayed contact hypersensitivity in all 20 animals. PMI is classified as the category 1 in accordance with GHS.
