Any other information on results incl. tables

It has not been detected any sign of contact sensitisation in guinea pigs exposed previously to the test item during experiments.

In the control and treated animals the mean of the scores was 0.00 according to the 24th and 48th-hour results.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not sensitising
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
According to the net percentage value of positively responded animals and to the net score value of the skin reactions, the test item DICHLOROPHENOXYACETIC ACID was classified as a non-sensitiser.
