Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not sensitising
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Basic Blue 99 is non sensitizing to the skin of Guinea pigs
Executive summary:

Guinea pig maximisation test was performed to evaluate the sensitizing potential of Basic Blue 99 on 10 female albino Hartley/Dunkin guinea pigs.

Basic Blue 99 is non sensitizing to the skin of Guinea pigs.

According to the CLP classification, the test material Basic Blue 99 does not classify as a skin sensitizer.
