Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
sensitising
Remarks:
Migrated information EU
Conclusions:
Postive reactions in 15% of test animals is required for a positive senisitising result in a non-adjuvant test. Fewer than prescibed test animals were utilised, therfore decreasing the power of the study to detect a sensitiser. 40-50% of animals displayed a positive result on first challenge, 10-20% of animals displayed a positive reaction on rechallenge, with a lower concentration of test material, and 40% of animals displayed reactions on second rechallenge, with a lower concentration of test substance. therefore, according to guidelines, this substance is a sensitser.
Executive summary:

In a dermal sensitization study with sodium 4-icosylbenzenesulfonatein mineral oil, guinea pigs (5/sex) were tested with a Beuhler test. 

 

  In this study,sodium 4-icosylbenzenesulfonateis a dermal sensitizer.
