Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not sensitising
Remarks:
Migrated information
Conclusions:
A sensitization test was carried out in guinea pigs to estimate the sensitizing potential of D & C Red 33. D & C Red 33 was found to be non sensitizing after challenge exposure.
Executive summary:

A maximization test in guinea pigs was carried out with an induction treatment by intradermal injection of 5% aqueous solution of the test chemical and by topical application of 10% aqueous solution. The challenge was made by topical application of 10% and 5% aqueous solution 2 weeks later. There were no positive reactions.

It was concluded that 10% aqueous solution of the test substance was not sensitizing to guinea pig skin. based on the above result the test chemical was concluded to be non sensitizing .
