Results and discussion

Any other information on results incl. tables

RESULTS OF PILOT STUDY: Minimal erythema at 24 and 48 hours after 48 hour topical exposure, no irritation at these time periods after a 24 hour 

topical application. Well defined erythema (grade 2) at 24, 48 and 72 hours post injection reducing to slight erythema (grade 1) at 7 days.

RESULTS OF TEST
- Sensitization reaction: No positive responses with 25% or 50% challenge concentrations in test or control groups at 24 or 48 hours. 0/10  treated and 

0/5 controls responded to challenge.
- Clinical signs: Body weights and weight gain over the observation period were comparable in test and control groups. Well-defined erythema was 

noted at the intradermal induction sites of all test group animals at 24 and 48hours. Very slight to well-defined erythema was noted at the 

intradermal sites of the control group at 24 and very slight erythema at 3 sites at 48 hours.
Very slight to well-defined erythema was noted at the induction sites of six test group animals at the 1 hour mark. No skin reactions were noted at 

the induction sites of any test group animals at the 24 hour mark.
- Rechallenge: Not carried out.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not sensitising
Remarks:
Migrated information
Conclusions:
Kalcol 8098 is not a skin sensitiser when tested using the Magnusson and Kligman guinea pig maximization procedure.
The result is read across from 1-octadecanol (CAS 112-92-5).
