Endpoint:
skin sensitisation: in vitro
Data waiving:
study scientifically not necessary / other information available
Justification for data waiving:
an in vitro skin sensitisation study does not need to be conducted because adequate data from an in vivo skin sensitisation study are available
Endpoint:
skin sensitisation: in vivo (non-LLNA)
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
April 1998
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: Full study but only available as a letter report.
Qualifier:
equivalent or similar to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 406 (Skin Sensitisation)
Deviations:
not specified
GLP compliance:
not specified
Type of study:
guinea pig maximisation test
Justification for non-LLNA method:
Guinea pig test was already available.

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no study available

Justification for classification or non-classification

It was concluded that MEA Polyborate 1:3 135 g/L was practically devoid of potential to cause sensitisation in an OECD 406 Skin Sensitisation study. Therefore, the substance is not classified for skin sensitisation under GHS.
