Any other information on results incl. tables

- All animals survived till the end of the study.

- No differences in the mean body weight between the animals of the test substance and negative control group on Days 0 and 23.

- No abnormal behaviour or clinical signs were detected during the experiment

Skin reactions after the challenge exposure:

In the test substance group very slight to severe erythema and/or edema were noted in 4/10 animals at the test substance areas 24 and 48 hours after the end of the challenge exposure.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 1B (indication of skin sensitising potential) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
In conclusion, in an in vivo skin sensitisation test conducted in accordance with OECD 406 the test material showed a sensitising potential.
Executive summary:

In conclusion, in an in vivo Guinea pig maximisation test conducted in accordance with OECD 406, the test material showed a sensitising potential.
