Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The substance resulted as non sensitising in guinea pig maximisation test.
Executive summary:

Method

Guinea pig maximisation test according to method described by Magnusson and Kligman, 1970. Preliminary test allowed to choose concentrations for the main test. In particular, at day 0, induction was done by intradermal injection of test substance at 1 % concentration in distilled water and 50 : 50 distilled water and Freund's adjuvant; at day 7, induction was done by a 48 -h occlusive dermal application of test substance at 75 % concentration in paraffin ; at day 21, challenge was performed by a 24 -hour occlusive dermal application of test substance at 10 % in distilled water.

Results

Examination of treated areas was performed 24, 48 and 72 hours upon challenge exposure. 2/10 positive responses in terms of oedema were found at the 24-hour observation, then no positive responses were seen.
