Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not sensitising
Remarks:
Migrated information
Conclusions:
No skin sensitizing potential was identified in the guinea pig Maximization-test with NLP#15
Executive summary:

The skin sensitizing potential of the test item NLP#15 was investigated in a guinea pig maximisation test according to OECD 406. Male guinea pigs were treated intradermally (together with Freund's adjuvant) and epicutaneously (lowest irritating concentration) with the test item. 21 days after first administration, the test item was applied epicutaneously at the highest non-irritating concentration

The local reactions recorded in the eight test animals (40 %) after the challenge were considered to be of irritant nature. This interpretation is supported by the fact that the reactions faded at the 48-hour reading and that 60 % of the control animals also showed a local erythema at the 24 -hour reading.

Based on the above mentioned findings in an adjuvant sensitization test (M&K-test) in guinea pigs and in accordance to Commission Directive 2001/59/EC, NLP #15 (2,2’,2’’-Nitrilotriethanol, propoxylated) does not have to be classified and labelled as a skin sensitizer.
