Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not sensitising
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Challenge with the test item BIBR 277 CL caused no positive response in test animals previously sensitised. At the same time, none of the control animals showed sings of skin sensitisation. The net response value was thus 0%, as no indications for adverse skin reactions were noted.
The test item was classified as a non-senisitiser, based on this guinea pig test and according to current EU-regulations.
