Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 1B (indication of skin sensitising potential) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
The test item is considered to be a skin sensitizer.
Executive summary:

These results indicate that the test substance could elicit a SI ≥ 3. The data showed a dose-response and an EC3 value (the estimated test substance concentration that will give a SI =3) of 32.4% was calculated.

The six-month reliability check with Alpha-hexylcinnamaldehyde indicates that the Local Lymph Node Assay as performed at WIL Research Europe is an appropriate model for testing for contact hypersensitivity.

Based on these results:

- according to the recommendations made in the test guidelines (including all amendments), the test item would be regarded as skin sensitizer.

- according to the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) of the United Nations (2011) (including all amendments), the test otem should be classified as skin sensitizer (Category 1B).

- according to the Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 on classification, labelling and packaging of substances and mixtures (including all amendments), the test item should be classified as skin sensitizer (Category 1B) and labeled as H317: May cause an allergic skin reaction.
