INDUCTION EXPOSURE INTRADERMAL INJECTIONS
- Test groups: 5 guinea-pigs
- Concentrations: 5 % in physiological saline (w/v).
Since 5 % in physiological saline could be injected and was well tolerated, this concentration was used for the intradermal induction.

INDUCTION EXPOSURE: Epi dermal applications
- Exposure period:
- Test groups: 5 guinea pigs
- Concentrations:
A = 30 %
B = 50 %,
50% was the highest possible concentration of the test article in physiological saline.
The tested concentrations did not induce erythema reactions.

- Concentrations:
Test group:
- adjuvant/saline mixture 1:1 (v/v)
- 5 % in physiological saline (w/v)
- 5 % in the adjuvant/saline mixture (w/v)

Under the experimental conditions employed, 5 % of the animals of the test group showed skin reactions 24 hours after removing the dressings.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: Not classified according to the CLP Regulation (EC n. 1272/2008)
Conclusions:
Not sensitizer
Executive summary:

The substance was tested for skin sensitisation according The OECD 406 guideline and 92/69/EEC, B.6 method.

Under the experimental conditions employed, 5 % of the animals of the test group showed skin reactions 24 hours after removing the dressings.

Under the test condition, the substance does not show any sensitisation potential, therfore is considered to be non sensitizer.
