Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: not sensitizing
Conclusions:
No dermal reactions were observed at the treatment sites of the test animals after exposure to the test chemical. Hence, the test chemical can be considered to be not sensitizing to skin.
Executive summary:

Buehler test was performed to evaluate the dermal sensitization potential of the test chemical. The study was performed according to OECD 406 Guidelines. No dermal reactions were observed at the treatment sites of the test animals after exposure to the test chemical. Hence, the test chemical can be considered to be not sensitizing to skin.
