Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not sensitising
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The test material is not sensitizing.
Executive summary:

Alhough a small raised area was observed with a slight increase in color when compared to surrounding area, but the retest reading value was less than the average for each reading. Thus, the substance can be said not to have produced sensitization.
