Interpretation of results:
not sensitising
Remarks:
Migrated information
Conclusions:
The skin sensitization property was investigated according to the guideline OECD 406 (Bühler test). The registration substance is a non-sensitizer.
Executive summary:

The skin sensitization property was investigated according to the guideline OECD 406 (Bühler test).

Three epicutaneous induction was carried out at concentration of 20% in ethanol:water 80:20. Challenge treatment was carried out at 0.8% in isopropanol. No of 20 animals treated showed a positive skin response. No significant skin sensitizing property was found.

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no adverse effect observed (not sensitising)

Respiratory sensitisation

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no study available

Justification for classification or non-classification

No significant skin sensitizing property was found in Bühler test. No classification is warranted.
