- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Reliability:
- 2 (reliable with restrictions)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- other: The method was detailed in the publications Kligman (1966) and Kligman & Epstein (1975). The purity of the test substance was unknown. The study was performed before the GLP standard was established.

- Details on study design:
- TYPE OF TEST(S) USED: patch test (epicutaneous test)
ADMINISTRATION
- Type of application: occlusive
- Description of patch: a non woven, highly absorbent, cloth, prepared by Curity under the trade name of Webril.
- Vehicle / solvent: petrolatum
- Concentrations: 2%
- Volume applied: 1 ml
- Testing/scoring schedule: The test substance was applied under occlusion to the volar forearm or back of all subjects for five alternate-day 48 hour periods. The patch site was pre-treated for 24 hours with 2.5% aqueous sodium lauryl sulfate under occlusion.
Following a ten day rest period, a challenge patch of the test material was applied to a different site for a 48-hour period under occlusion.
Prior to challenge, 5 to 10% was applied to test site for one hour before application of test material.
- Removal of test substance: no data
EXAMINATIONS
- Grading/Scoring system: Observations were made immediately after removal of the challenge patch and 24 hours thereafter using the following scale:
- 0 = not sensitized,
- 1 = mild sensitization: mainly erythema and little edema,
- 2 = moderate sensitization: erythema with infiltration, raised, spreading beyond the borders, with or without vesiculation,
- 3 = strong sensitization: large, vesculo-bullous, vividly red, infiltrated plaques.
- Statistical analysis: no data
Results and discussion
- Results of examinations:
- There were no instances of contact-sensitization from this material on the Maximization Test.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- Not sensitizing.
- Executive summary:
In a study (Kligman, 1978), human were tested in maximization test with Gaiacol.
The test substance was applied under occlusion to the volar forearm or back of all subjects for five alternate-day 48 hour periods. The patch site was pre-treated for 24 hours with 2.5% aqueous sodium lauryl sulfate under occlusion.
Following a ten day rest period, a challenge patch of the test material was applied to a different site for a 48-hour period under occlusion.
Prior to challenge, 5 to 10% was applied to test site for one hour before application of test material.
There was no signs of sensitization with Gaiacol in this study, and Gaiacol could be considered as a non-sensitizer.
