Any other information on results incl. tables

Maximum concentration not causing irritating effects in preliminary test: 50 %

Signs of irritation during induction:
Intradermal Induction:
Very slight erythema was noted at all test group sites at the 24 and 48-hour observations. No signs of skin irritation were noted at the control sites at either the 24 or 48-hour observations.

Topical Induction:
Very slight erythema was noted at all test group sites at the 1-hour observation and persisted at one test site at the 24-hour observation. Residual test material was present at all test sites at the 1 and 24-hour observations. Very slight erythema was noted at one control site at the 1-hour observation.

Evidence of sensitisation of each challenge concentration:
None.

Other observations:
Pale yellow coloured staining was noted at all test and control sites at the 24 and 48-hour observations at the 50% w/w dilution and one test and one control site at the 25% w/w dilution.

All animals showed expected gain in bodyweight.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not sensitising
Remarks:
Migrated information
Conclusions:
The analogue substance 1 (refer to IUCLID chaper 13) did not cause skin sensitisation in a maximisation test using 50 % as challenge concentration
