Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
No toxic symptoms were evident in the guinea pigs of the test group.
Hence, the substance is not sensitizer.
Executive summary:

A Maximisation test was performed in accordance with OECD Guideline 406.

The intradermal induction of sensitization in the test group was perfomed in the nuchal region with a 3% dilution of the test item in corn oil and in an emulsion of Freund's Complete Adjuvant (FCA)/physiological saline. The epidermal induction of sensitization was conducted for 48 hours under occlusion with the test item at 50% in corn oil one week after the intradermal induction. The animals in the control group were intradermally induced with corn oil and FCA/physiological saline and epidermally induced with corn oil under occlusion.

Two weeks after epidermal induction the control and test animals were challenged by epidermal application of the test item at 15% in corn oil and corn oil alone under occlusive dressing.

Cutaneous reactions were evaluated at 24 and 48 hours after removal of the dressing.

No toxic symptoms were evident in the guinea pigs of the control or the test group. No deaths occured. None of the control and test animals showed skin reactions after the challenge treatment with the substance at 15% in corn oil.

2 -mercaptobenzothiazole was used as positive control. All test animals (10) showed discrete/patchy to moderate/confluent erythema after the challenge treatment with 2-mercaptobenzothiazole at 1% (w/w) in mineral oil.

Based on these findings, the experiment was considered valid and the conclusion is that the substance is not sensitizer.
