Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 1 (skin sensitising) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
Under the conditions of this study, the test material disodium persulfate was sensitizing when applied to Pirbright White guinea pigs.
Disodium persulfate was classified as skin sensitiser cat. 1 H317 (may cause an allergic skin reaction) according to Regulation 1271/2008/EC (CLP)
Executive summary:

Disodium persulfate was tested for skin sensitization properties in Guinea pigs according to OECD Guideline 406. At the second reading after (topical) challenge erythema and sporadical oedema were observed at 11 test animals compared to only 1 control animal who revealed slight erythema and oedema. Under the conditions of this study, the test material disodium persulfate was considered sensitizing when applied to guinea pigs. No systemic-toxic effects were verifiable.
