Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not sensitising
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The test item was not a skin sensitiser in this assay.
Executive summary:

In the study the test item dissolved in acetone:olive oil (4+1) was assessed for its possible contact allergenic potential.

For this purpose a local lymph node assay was performed using test item concentrations of 6.25, 12.5, and 25 %.

The animals did not show any clinical signs during the course of the study and no cases of mortality were observed.

In this study Stimulation Indices (S.I.) of 2.16, 1.50, and 1.23 were determined with the test item at concentrations of 6.25, 12.5, and 25 % in acetone:olive oil (4+1), respectively.

The test item was not a skin sensitiser in this assay. The EC3 value could not be calculated, since all S.I. were below 3.
