Materials and methods

Type of sensitisation studied:
skin
Study type:
study with volunteers
Principles of method if other than guideline:
An 8% formulation of the test substance (cologne stick) was applied to the skin on one arm of volunteers and covered with an occlusive dressing 3 days a week for a total of 10 induction exposures. After a rest period of 14 days, one challenge was performed and the skin assessed for sensitisation reactions.
GLP compliance:
no
