Test guideline
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 406 (Skin Sensitisation)
Deviations:
no
GLP compliance:
yes (incl. QA statement)
Type of study:
Buehler test
Justification for non-LLNA method:
An LLNA study was not performed because there is an existing reliable study for skin sensitisation using the Buehler test method. Furthermore, the LLNA test method is not considered to be suitable for substances that contain silicon. Please refer to the attached document for further details.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
A well conducted, well reported guinea-pig skin sensitization test (Buehler Method) reported that a 2.5% concentration of the test material in corn oil failed to induce a sensitization response in guinea pigs when challenged with a 1% solution. Appropriate negative and positive compliance controls data were provided.
