Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 1 (skin sensitising) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
Cyhalothrin is a skin sensitizer under the conditions of the study described.
Executive summary:

Skin sensitizing potential of Cyhalothrin was assessed using the Buehler test on guinea pigs. GLP compliance was stated.

The test item Cyhalothrin Challenge of test and control animals with a 50% solution of cyhalothrin in corn oil caused faint erythema in 5 out of 10 test animals 24 h after challenge. This erythema persisted in one animal at 48h after challenge. Challenge with a 75% solution in corn oil caused faint erythema in 2 out of 10 test animals 24 h after challenge. This erythema persisted in one animal at 48h after challenge. No erythema were observed in any control animal.

Based upon the classification criteria according to the Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 December 2008, the test item has to be classified as skin sensitizer on the basis of this study.
