Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The test item Tolyltriazole did not show any signs of skin sensitation in the guinea pig in this study.
Historical data of positive control substances showed the sensitivity of the test performed in the labouratry
