Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
A well conducted, well reported guinea-pig skin sensitization test (Magnusson & Kligman method) found in the test substance (a 69% aqueous solution of CHPTAC) no evidence of sensitizing potential when challenged with a 30% solution of the TS in saline. Appropriate negative and positive controls were conducted.
Executive summary:

In a dermal sensitization study (OECD 406) with CHPTAC (69% aqueous solution), young adult female guinea-pigs of the Dunkin-Hartley strain were tested using the method of Magnusson and Kligman. No dermal reactions were seen when challenging with a 30% solution of the test material in saline. In this study, CHPTAC (69%) is not a dermal sensitizer.
