Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 1 (skin sensitising) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
Piperazine citrate when exposed at a concentration of 10 mg/ml to the skin of 42-yr-old woman showed 5 mm wheal and is positive for skin sensitization. Thus Piperazine citrate can be classified as skin sensitising under category 1 as per CLP classification criteria.
Executive summary:

Skin sensitization test of Piperazine citrate was conducted on a 42-year-old woman by using Skin prick test following the observed occupational effects.. A 42-yr-old woman was exposed with the test compound Piperazine citrate at a concentration of 10 mg/ml produced which produce 5 mm wheal in the patient. Since the women showed positive skin senitization reaction for Piperazine citrate, it is considered to be classified as skin sensitising under category 1 as per CLP classification criteria.
