- No. of exposures: single
- Day(s) of challenge:
- Exposure period: 48 hours

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- other: Not sensitizing.
- Conclusions:
- No dermal reactions were observed on the skin of the volunteers. Therefore, the test chemical was considered to be not sensitizing to humans. Hence, the test chemical can be classified under the category "Not Classified" as per CLP Regulation.
- Executive summary:
A human maximization study was performed to assess the dermal sensitization potential of the test chemical. During the induction exposure, the sensitizing patches were applied to an extremity, either the forearm or the lower leg in the calf region. The entire series of patches were applied to exactly the same site. The procedure was as follows: 1.0 ml of 5% aqueous sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) was injected on to the Webril patches and fastened to an extremity under occlusive conditions for 24 hours. To the same site, a 48 hour occlusive patch with 10% test chemical in petrolatum was applied to the skin of 24 and 26 human volunteers. The procedure of alternating 24 hour irritant i.e 24 hour pre-treatment with 5% SLS and 48 hour allergen patches were repeated for a total of five exposures. After a suitable rest period, the challenge exposure was performed. Before conducting the challenge test, a "SLS provocative patch test," was performed at the test site. A provocative patch test consisted of pre-treating the skin occlusively with 0.4 ml of 10% SLS on a 1.0 inch Webril square for one hour. After provocative patch test, the test chemical patches were applied under occlusive conditions on the same site for 48 hours. The challenge reactions were read immediately after removal of the 48 hours patch and again in another two days. An evident erythema was regarded as the minimum positive response. No dermal reactions were observed on the skin of the volunteers. Therefore, the test chemical was considered to be not sensitizing to humans. Hence, the test chemical can be classified under the category "Not Classified" as per CLP Regulation.
