Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not sensitising
Remarks:
Migrated information
Conclusions:
The irritation in 3/20 animals in the challenge phase scored after 24 hours did not persist to 48 hours, indicating an irritation response rather than a skin sensitization response.
