Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Remarks:
no sensitising
Conclusions:
In a guinea pig sensitization study according to OECD 406 caused no allergic reaction in all animals. The number of affected guinea pigs was not high enough to be significant. Methylparaben is not considered to be a skin sensitiser. Therefore, the test substance has not to be classified as skin sensitiser.
Executive summary:

Testing for sensitising properties of phosphinic acid, diethyl aluminium salt (source substance)

was performed in female guinea pigs according to OECD 406. Intradermal induction was performed using 5 %, the dermal induction using 25% in sesame oil. The challenge was carried out with 25% test substance (epidermal) sesame oil.

Phosphinic acid, diethyl aluminium salt (source substance) did not induce allergic reactions and therefore, phosphinic acid, diethyl sodium salt (target substance) is not considered to be a skin sensitiser.
