Summary of protocol amendments:
The challenge skin reactions with score 1 or more were considered to be a sign of sensitization, instead of challenge skin reactions with score 2 or more as noted in the protocol. This change in normal evaluation procedure was implemented as a result of the clear difference i n response between control and experimental animals.
GLP compliance:
yes
Type of study:
Buehler test

Induction phase:
Experimental animals were exposed on day 1 with 0.5 ml of the test substance suspended to 50 % (wlw) in milli-RO water. From day 3 onwards, the test substance concentration was decreased to 25 % ( w /w ) , since the 50 % was too viscous.

Results and discussion

Positive control results:
Clearly positive results were observed in the experimental animals after the challenge with 0.5% (w/w) FORMALDEHYDE in milli-RO water. experiment carried out once a year.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
sensitising
Remarks:
Migrated information
Conclusions:
A 25 % solution of the substance resulted in a sensitization rate of 20 % in guinea pig. The substance therefore should be labelled as a skin sensitizer.
