Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not sensitising
Remarks:
Migrated information
Conclusions:
Based on the findings of this study the substance is not subject to classification.
Executive summary:

The Guinea Pig Maximization Test (GPMT) was performed on female guinea pigs to

determine whether the test substance 2-Cyanimino-1,3-thiazolidin exhibits skinsensitizing

properties.

The study was conducted with the following test substance concentrations:

Intradermal induction: 5%

Topical induction: 50%

Challenge: 50%

For the induction and the challenge treatment the test substance was formulated in

polyethylene glycol 400 to yield a solution (<= 10%) or a suspension (> 10%).

The challenge using a 50% test substance formulation led to no skin effects in the

animals in the control group and in the treatment group.

In summary, under the conditions of the maximization test and with respect to the

evaluation criteria the test substance therefore thus exhibits no skin-sensitization

potential.
