Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 406 (Skin Sensitisation)
GLP compliance:
yes
Type of study:
Buehler test
Justification for non-LLNA method:
A Buehler study was conducted according to OECD 406. Male and Female Dunkin Hartley guinea pigs (10 males and 10 females) received 0.5 undiluted test substance. Propoxylated glycerol mw 300 is not a skin sensitizer when tested using the Buehler technique.
