Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

other: not skin sensitizing

Conclusions:

The given test chemical when applied on on guinea pig‘s skin in the concentration 0.5 g in induction and 0.1 g in challenge produced no skin reaction. Hence, it was considered to be not sensitizing in Guinea pigs.

Executive summary:

Skin sensitization potential was observed for the given test chemical in Guinea pigs by delayed contact hypersensitivity reaction. Ten animals were in the treatment group and 10 in the control group. The test site on the flank was clipped and shaved and 0.5 g test chemical at a concentration of 30% (w/w) (diluted in petroleum jelly) was applied for 6 h under a closed patch, once a week, for 3 weeks. A control site received only the petroleum jelly. Two weeks after the last application, 0.1 g each of 30%, 10%, 3%, or the petroleum jelly were applied to the shaved skin and left for 24 h under a closed patch. The given test chemical when applied on guinea pigs skin in the concentration 0.5 g in induction and 0.1 g in challenge produced no skin reaction. Hence, it was considered to be not sensitizing in Guinea pigs.
