Migrated information
Conclusions:
Under the conditions of this test, Ampholak YJH-40 is not a sensitiser to guinea pig skin.
Executive summary:

A study was performed to assess the contact sensitisation potential of the test material in the albino guinea pig. The study was performed in compliance with the OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals No. 406 "Skin Sensitisation" (adopted 17 July 1992) and Method B6 of Commission Directive 92/69/EEC (which constitutes Annex V of Council Directive 671548/EEC). Twenty test and ten control animals were used for the main study.

Based on the results of a sighting test, the concentration of test material for the induction phase was selected as follows:

Topical Induction: undiluted as supplied;

Based on the results of the induction phases of the study the concentrations of test material for the challenge phase were as follows:

Topical Challenge : undiluted as supplied and 75% v/v in distilled water.

The test material produced a 0% (0/20) sensitisation rate and was classified as a non-sensitiser to guinea pig skin. The test material did not meet the criteria for classification as a sensitiser according to OECD/GHS.
