Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not sensitising
Remarks:
Migrated information
Conclusions:
The TS produced no skin sensitisation, but the study is considered to be invalid.
Executive summary:

The test substance produced no skin sensitisation under test conditions. N-ethyl-n-butylamineamine was graded as a "weak sensitiser" based on the ranking list presented (Safepharm, 1980).

The grading is unclear. The small group sizes do not allow to draw firm conclusions on the presence or absence of a weak sensitising potential. The group sizes were not adjusted to the low reaction to be expected, and were too low compared to the OECD test guideline. Furthermore, the absence of a positive control limits the reliability of the study.

Overall the study is not considered to be valid and useful for assessment. The test substance is corrosive to the skin, and a skin sensitisation study is therefore obsolete.
