Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 406 (Skin Sensitisation)
GLP compliance:
yes
Type of study:
guinea pig maximisation test
Justification for non-LLNA method:
A skin sensitisation study according to OECD 406 with adequate quality was already available, and therefore a further LLNA study was not needed to be developed.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not sensitising
Remarks:
Migrated information
Conclusions:
Based on results from triethanolamine, the major constituent of the multiconstituent substance, it is concluded that the substance is a weak sensitiser, no labelling is required.
