MAIN STUDY

A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE

- No. of exposures: 2

- Exposure period: 3 weeks

- Test groups: 1 group of 20 male animals

- Control group: Not included

- Day(s) of challenge: 1

- Exposure period: 21 h

- Test groups: 1 group of 20 male animals

- Control group: Not included

- Site: skin over the shoulders

- Concentrations: undiluted.

- Evaluation (hr after challenge): 24 h

Challenge controls:
Not included
Positive control substance(s):

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not sensitising
Conclusions:
The test material does not appear to be a sensitizer in the albino guinea pig.
Executive summary:

In a Magnusson-Kligman Guinea Pig maximization test, 20 Dunkin-Harley strain albino Guinea Pigs were treated with undiluted test substance, scores of zero in all test animals were obtained at all time points examined. The test material does not appear to be a sensitizer in the albino guinea pig.
