Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not sensitising
Remarks:
Migrated information
Conclusions:
Shellsol A was not a skin sensitiser.
Executive summary:

Guinea pigs were challenged with Shellsol A in a maximization test. No sensitisation response was elicited immediately, 24 or 48 hours after the challenge. The test was therefore negative.
