Amount / concentration applied:
TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): A 1 cm2 of unmedicated white lint was soaked in the test solution, lightly blotted and applied to the skin.
- Concentration (if solution): Solutions were made in neutral distilled water so that in each instance the “active matter” content was maintained at levels of 5% and 10% for each test substance.

48 hours
Observation period:
72 hours
Number of animals:
4 volunteers per test substance
Details on study design:
TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: outer surface of the left upper arm
- Type of wrap if used: waterproof adhesive dressing of some 4.5 cm diameter, the adhesive centre portion of which was covered with a circle of cellulose film of 2.2 cm diameter.

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): no

GHS criteria not met
Remarks:
Criteria used for interpretation of results: expert judgment
Conclusions:
No reactions were detected.
Executive summary:

A 1 cm2 of unmedicated white lint was soaked in the 5 and 10% test substance solution in comparison with toilet soaps, and applied to the skin of the left arm of 4 volunteers for 48 hours under waterproof adhesive dressing, followed by an observation period of 72 hours. No reactions were detected.
