Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- other: Not Sensitizing
- Conclusions:
- The skin sensitization study of Methanesulfonic Acid (75-75-2) was performed by Buehler test was considered to be not skin sensitizing in guinea pig .
- Executive summary:
The skin sensitization study of Methanesulfonic Acid (75-75-2)was performed by Buehlertestin 20Male and female Hartley guinea pigs.. An additional 10 animals served as the vehicle control group; a positive control group was not included in the study. Doses were selected on the bases of preliminary study.In induction phase, 3 induction given using concentration 0.3ml of 50 % test substance in water by epidermal open application for 6 hr at shoulder region on day 1,7 and 14.In challenge phase, 0.3 ml test substance of 25 % concentration in same vehicle used for challenge dose. Test material expose for 24hr onright flank. Evolution done 24 hr after challenge application. 0: no reaction,±: slight, patch y erythema,1: slight but confluent or moderate, patchy erythema,2: moderate erythema,3: severe erythema with or without oedema as grading system used .No skin sensitizing reaction observed after challenge application. Hence it is considered that Methanesulfonic Acid (75-75-2)was performed by Buehler test was considered to be not skin sensitizing in guinea pig.
