Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
D-8 was tested for delayed hypersensitivity in the guinea-pig according to the EU Guideline B.6 and OECD 406. D-8 did not produce any evidence of delayed contact hypersensitivity.
Executive summary:

D-8 was tested for delayed hypersensitivity using the Magnusson-Kligman Test in guinea pigs. Test animals were induced by intradermal (7.5% w/w) and topical application (50% w/w) of D-8 in Alembicol 8, a coconut oil derived solvent for dermal applications. Two weeks after the induction period, the animals were challenged by dermal application of the test item. The evaluation after 24, 48 and 72 hours after removal of the test substance showed no evidence of delayed hypersensitivity caused by the test item. In conclusion, D-8 was considered non-sensitizing in contact with skin.
