Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
No indications for a skin sensitizing potential in guinea pigs
Executive summary:

A skin sensitization study was conducted in guinea pigs using the maximization method. Distilled water for injection was used as a vehicle control, and MBT was used as a positive control. No change was observed on the skin of the animals in the test item group following challenge, while skin reactions were observed in all animals of the positive control group.
