Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
In conclusion, in a dermal skin sensitisation study with guinea pigs a 12% ammonium lactate lotion was not skin sensitising.
Executive summary:

In a dermal skin sensitisation study 10 guinea pigs were treated with a 12% ammonium lactate lotion under occlusive conditions. One animal was found dead on day 18. No erythema was observed after induction or challenge applications. Based on the results, it can be stated that the test item is not a skin sensitiser.
