OECD SIDS 2005:

"A range of older studies performed by chemical industry report from patch-tests in humans applying a repeated insult patch test (method of Shelanski) or a modified Schwartz patch test. In healthy volunteers not previously exposed to test rubber formulations, no sensitization or only a low sensitization rate to 6PPD was noted, while the sensitization rate was much higher in persons who had been previously sensitized to rubber samples.

Sensitization in the course of repeated insult patch-tests (induction by 15 repeated treatments followed by one challenge application) was reported for groups of 17/50 and 16/50 individuals (Industrial Biological Laboratories Inc., 1964) as well as for 4/50 and 5/50 individuals (Industrial Biology Laboratories Inc. 1964c, Product Investigations Inc. 1976). Otherwise under similar test conditions groups of 50 volunteer subjects (not previously exposed to p-phenylenediamine- derivatives or to test rubber formulations) all showed negative patch-test reactions to 6PPD in 3 studies (Industrial Biology Laboratories Inc. 1964b; Food and Drug Research Laboratories Inc., 1972; Monsanto Chemical Co., not dated, b).

Positive results to 6PPD were also noted in modified Schwartz patch tests for 3/10, 5/10, 9/10 and 3/5 volunteers subjects, respectively, who had been previously sensitized to rubber samples (Industrial Biology Laboratories Inc., 1963 a, 1963 b, 1963 c, 1964 d.
