Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
sensitising
Remarks:
Migrated information
Conclusions:
Tetrahydrophthalic anhydride causes delayed dermal sensitisation in the guinea pig maximisation test of Magnusson and Kligman
Executive summary:

Dermal sensitisation has been investigated in a maximisation test according to OECD test methods. A marked sensitisation response was observed to tetrahydrophthalic anhydride following a period of induction exposure.
