Any other information on results incl. tables

No mortalities occurred. From day 8 onwards all animals showed clear-cut skin irritations (reddening, swelling and/orn necroses) in the area of epidermal induction (neck). None of the animals showed local reactions after epidermal administration of 25% ZK 90346 for challenging.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Under the condition of the maximization test and with respect to the evaluation criteria Methylenepoxidpivalat exhibited no skin-sensitization potential.
Executive summary:

To determine the skin-sensitizing properties of ZK 90346 the guinea pig maximization test was performed on male and female guinea pigs according to OECD guideline 406. The study was conducted with the following test substance concentrations:

intradermal induction: 5%

epidermal induction: 25%

challenge: 25%

Under the condition of the maximization test and with respect to the evaluation criteria Methylenepoxidpivalat exhibited no skin-sensitization potential.
