Results and discussion

Positive control results:
Test substance concentrations selected for the Main study were based on the results of a preliminary study.
In the Main study, ten experimental animals were intradermally injected with a 5% concentration and epidermally exposed to a 50% concentration. Five control animals were similary treated, but with the vehicle (corn oil) only. Two weeks after the epidermal application all animals were challenged with a 20% test substance concentration and the vehicle.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not sensitising
Remarks:
Migrated information
Conclusions:
No evidence was obtained that TS-2863 had caused skin hypersensitivity in the guinea pig, since no responses were observed in the experimental animals in the challenge phase.
This result indicates a sensitisation rate of 0 per cent.
Based on these results and according to the EC criteria for classification and labelling requirements for dangerous substances and preparations (Guidelines in Commission Directive 93/21/EEC), TS-2863 does not have to be classified and has no obligatory labelling requirements for sensitisation by skin contact.
