Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not sensitising
Remarks:
Migrated information
Conclusions:
Under these experimental conditions the test substance MPEM sensitized one out of twenty guinea pigs. According to the Kligmann (1966) classification scheme, MPEM can be classified as a weak sensitizer in guinea pigs. Furthermore, this result does not lead to classification as a sensitizer according to either Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 or Dangerous Substances Directive (67/548/EEC).
