Conclusions:
The test item EMIM Methansulfonate was found to be a weak skin sensitiser under the test conditions of this study.
Executive summary:

In order to study a possible skin sensitisation potential of EMIM Methansulfonate, three groups each of five female mice were treated daily with the test item at concentrations of 25, 50, and 100% (w/v) in dimethylformamide by topical application to the dorsum of each ear once daily for three consecutive days. All treated animals survived the scheduled study period and no signs of systemic toxicity or local skin irritation were observed.

In this study Stimulation Indices (S.I.) of 1.56, 2.46, and 2.98 were determined with the test item at concentrations of 25, 50 and 100% (w/v) in dimethylformamide, respectively. A clear dose response was observed. The EC3 value calculated was about 100% (w/v).
