Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no adverse effect observed (not sensitising)

Justification for classification or non-classification

The test item was negative for sesnsitisation in two human patch tests. QSAR predictions for sensitisation are equivocal; of the three predictions from OECD toolbox, two are considered to be negative (Buehler test prediction) and one is conisdered to be postive (LLNA prediction). A QSAR conducted using VEGA software has a 'sensitising' result.

Therefore, considering all of the available data (negative human patch tests and overall equivocal QSAR predictions), the test item is not classificable for sensitisation according to CLP criteria (EC Regulation 1272/2008).
