Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not sensitising
Remarks:
Migrated informationCriteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Aluminium sulfate did not cause skin effects using 10% (w/w) concentration of aluminium sulfate.Therefore Aluminium sulfate is not sensitising as one soluble part of aluminium potassium bis(sulphate).Therefore Aluminium potassium bis sulphate is not classified as sensitising according EU Regulation 1272/2008 andEU Regulation 286/2011 (2. ATP).
Executive summary:

Aluminium sulfate did not cause skin effects using 10% (w/w) concentration of aluminium sulfate.

Therefore Aluminium sulfate is not sensitising as one soluble part of aluminium potassium bis(sulphate).

Therefore Aluminium potassium bis sulphate is not classified as sensitising according EU Regulation 1272/2008

and EU Regulation 286/2011 (2. ATP) .
