Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not sensitising
Remarks:
Migrated information
Conclusions:
The test item 2 -Benzimidazolon was not a skin sensitiser in this assay.
Executive summary:

In the study the test item 2 -Benzimidazolon dissolved in DMSO was assessed for its possible contact allergenic potential.

For this purpose a LLNA was performed using test item concentrations of 5, 10 and 20%.

The animals did not show any clinical signs during the course of the study and no cases of mortality were observed.

In this study Stimulation Indices (S.I.) of 1.67, 2.70, and 2.51 were determined with the test item at concentrations of 5, 10 and 20% in DMSO, respectively.

The test item 2 -Benzimidazolon was not a skin sensitiser in this assay.
