Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Under the conditions of this test, heptanal induced no instances of contact-sensitization.
Executive summary:

To determine the contact-sensitizing potential of heptanal, 25 healthy adult volunteers were exposed to the material under occlusion for five alternate-day 48 hour periods. The patch sites were pre-treated for 24 hours with 5 % aqueous sodium lauryl sulfate under occlusion. The challenge sites were read on removal of the patch and 24 hours thereafter. Under the conditions of this test, heptanal induced no instances of contact-sensitization.
