Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 406 (Skin Sensitisation)
Version / remarks:
July 17, 1992
Deviations:
no
GLP compliance:
yes (incl. QA statement)
Type of study:
Buehler test
Justification for non-LLNA method:
The non-LLNA study was performed in 1992 and adequately demonstrates no skin sensitising properties in the test substance. As this study meets the endpoint requirements, it was considered no necessary to perform a further in vivo study.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:

The test substance 4-Hydroxy TEMPO did not induce delayed contact hypersensitivity in the Bühler test and is thus not regarded as a skin sensitiser.
