Any other information on results incl. tables

Primary challenges were carried out after 14 days, 1 positive response was observed after 24 and 48 hours in the 10% DGA group. 7 days after the primary challenge, all test article treated animals were rechallenged at 10% concentration. 2 positive responses were observed after 24 and 48 hours after this rechallenge. After initial challenge a positive response was observed in all animals receiving the DNCB positive control. Erythema observed at 24 and 48 hours in 3 of negative control group at initial challenge.

Under EU criteria, the product is not classed as a sensitizer as it indicates a maximum (at rechallenge) of 10% positive (2/20) responses. A minimum figure of 15% under any study would be necessary for classification as a sensitizer with R43 under EU 18th ATP of the DSD. Practical experience over 20 years of manufacturing this product adds weight to this conclusion.
