Details on study design:
RANGE FINDING TESTS: For the pre-maximum non-irritant concentration test, 2 females were injected with 0.78-25% test substance in olive oil. They were then exposed to 7.5-60% test substance in paraffin oil. No necrosis was noted after the intradermal injection. No skin reaction was noted after the topical exposure.

For the maximum non-irritant concentration test, 3 males for induced by intradermal injection with the test substance in olive oil, and then topically with the test substance in paraffin oil. After 16 days, a challenge exposure was done by topical exposure under occlusive dressing at 7.5%-60% test sustance in paraffin oil. No skin reaction was observed. Therefore, 60% was chosen as the maximum dose for the main study.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: CLP/EU GHS criteria not met, no classification required according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008
Conclusions:
The test substance is not sensitising to skin.
Executive summary:

11 guinea pigs were tested for the skin sensitization of the test substance in the GPMT. 5 animals were used as controls. The test animals were intradermally injected with 1.56% test substance, and a week later topically exposed to 60% test substance. After 16 days, a challenge exposure was done topically with 30 and 60% test substance. No reaction was observed after the challenge exposure. The test substance is not sensitizing to skin.
