Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not sensitising
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
In this screening test, performed in twenty albino guinea-pigs, the test substance produced evidence of delayed contact hypersensitivity in five animals (25%). An inconclusive response was seen in the two animals. As this value is below the CLP criteria of 30%, this study does not trigger a positive classification.
