Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: Not sensitizing
Conclusions:
The test chemical failed to induce sensitization reactions in the treated guinea pigs. Hence the test chemical was considered to be not sensitizing to the skin of guinea pigs. 
Executive summary:

Guinea pig maximisation test was performed to assess the dermal sensitization potential of the test chemical. Group of ten guinea pigs were used for the study..

For induction, 0.1ml of 1% aqueous solution of the test chemical was given as a sacral intradermal injection, once a week for 4 weeks to group of ten guinea pigs . After a rest period of 2 weeks, animals were challenged with 0.05ml of 5% of the test chemical in propylene glycol.

The test chemical failed to induce sensitization reactions in the treated guinea pigs. Hence the test chemical was considered to be not sensitizing to the skin of guinea pigs.
