Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not sensitising
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
A well conducted, well reported guinea-pig skin sensitization test (Buehler Method) found no evidence of sensitization potential when the 'neat' solid material was applied during the induction and challenge phases. No data were provided on the reliability of this test using a known sensitiser, as required in the guideline.
