Conclusions:

In the study the test item 1-H-Tetrazol-5amine-,N-1H-tetrazol-5-yl-,monoammonium salt suspended in dimethylsulfoxide was assessed for its possible contact allergenic potential according to OECD Guideline 429.
The test item 1-H-Tetrazol-5amine-,N-1H-tetrazol-5-yl-,monoammonium salt was not a
skin sensitiser in this assay under the described conditions.

Executive summary:

In the study the test item 1-H-Tetrazol-5amine-,N-1H-tetrazol-5-yl-,monoammonium salt suspended in dimethylsulfoxide was assessed for its possible contact allergenic potential according to OECD Guideline 429.

For this purpose a local lymph node assay was performed using test item concentrations of 2.5, 5, and 10%.

The animals did not show any clinical signs during the course of the study and no cases of mortality were observed.

In this study Stimulation Indices (S.I.) of 1.61, 1.97 and 1.99 were determined with the test item at concentrations of 2.5, 5, and 10% in dimethylsulfoxide, respectively.

The test item1-H-Tetrazol-5amine-,N-1H-tetrazol-5-yl-,monoammoniumsalt was not a skin sensitiserin this assay under the described conditions.
