Results and discussion

Positive control results:
The reaction to the positive control substance 2,4 dinitrochlorobenzene (extreme sensitizer) and benzocaine (mild sensitizer) is tested periodically. The last test with an acceptable level of response to each of these substances was performed in April 1993.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not sensitising
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
“Hydroxyambran” may be classified as a “non sensitizer”.
Executive summary:

The Skin Sensititzation of Hydroxyambran was determined according to the OECD Test Guideline 406 using the Guinea Pig Maximization Test after B. Magnusson and A.M. Kligman.

After an intradermal injection induction procedure using 2,5 % of the test article and a dermal induction procedure using the undiluted test article no animal showed an allergic response after dermal challenge using 50 % of the test article in corn oil.

Therefore “Hydroxyambran” may be classified as a “non sensitizer”.
