Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: Not sensitizing
Conclusions:
The test chemical did not produce any skin allergic reaction in the induction as well as challenge treatment. Hence, the test chemical was considered to be not sensitizing to skin .
Executive summary:

Draize- Shelanski Repeat Insult Patch Test was performed on 200 human subjects to determine the degree of dermal sensitization caused by the test chemical.

The test chemical was applied to the subject's volvar forearms as an aqueous solution for 10 alternate days, for 24-hour periods, followed by a 14-day rest period. Challenge treatment were then applied under occlusion to fresh skin sites on the subjects scapular backs for 24 hours. The test chemical did not produce any skin allergic reaction in the induction as well as challenge treatment.

Hence, the test chemical was considered to be not sensitizing to skin .
