Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- not sensitising
- Remarks:
- Migrated information
- Conclusions:
- According to GHS criteria, no classification of undecylenic acid sodium salt is required.
- Executive summary:
The sensitization potential of the test substance SODIUM UNDECYLATE (in a 33.2% aqueous solution) was evaluated in the Guinea-pig according to the maximization procedure by Magnusson and Kligman. 20 Dunkin-Hartley guinea pigs (10 males and 10 females) were treated in the test group. The test substance was applied by intradermal injection at a concentration of 0.1% in physiological saline, after 9 days(and irritation by sodium lauryl sulfate in vaseline) epicutanously at a concentration of 0,05%, and again for challenge at the latter concentration and route on a different section of the skin.No symptoms, mortality or cutaneaous reactions due to any sensitization process by treatment with the test substance, SODIUM UNDECYLATE (in a 33.2% aqueous solution), were observed in guinea pigs.
