Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Executive summary:

There were no mortalities. There was no treatment related alteration of body weight increase. Any consistent evidence of treatment related kin irritation was absent. Any evidence of skin reaction attributable to a sensitizing activity of AGS was absent. In conclusion te result of this assay indicates that, in our experimental conditions, AGS is devoid of sensitizing activity in Guinea pig.
