5.3 SKIN SENSITISATION<br />

(a)<br />

Type: Maximisation test<br />

Species/strain: Dunkin Hartley guinea pig (male)<br />

Results: Sensitizing [ ]; Not sensitizing [X]; Ambiguous [ ]<br />

Classification: Sensitizing [ ]; Not sensitizing [ ]<br />

Method: OECD Guidelines for Testing of <strong>Chemicals</strong>, Section 4, No. 406, “Skin<br />
