Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
equivalent or similar to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 406 (Skin Sensitisation)
GLP compliance:
yes
Type of study:
Buehler test
Justification for non-LLNA method:
During preparation of the original submission, reporting of an existing Buehler-type skin sensitisation test was considered more appropriate than sacrifice of further vertebrate animals in the newly adopted Local Lymph Node Assay.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not sensitising
Remarks:
Migrated information
Conclusions:
The irritation in 3/20 animals in the challenge phase scored after 24 hours did not persist to 48 hours, indicating an irritation response rather than a skin sensitization response.
