Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not sensitising
Remarks:
Migrated information
Conclusions:
Based on these findings the test substance was considered not to be a skin sensitiser.
Executive summary:

The test item was tested for skin sensitising properties in a guinea pig maximisation test. Intradermal induction treatment was done with a 1% concentration of the test item in paraffin, epicutaneous induction treatment was done using a 2.5% concentration of the test item in petrolatum. Dermal challenge treatment was done using a 0.25% concentration of the test item in petrolatum. Neither animals of the control group nor animals of the dose group showed a skin response after challenge treatment. Based on these findings the test substance was considered not to be a skin sensitiser.
