Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: not irritating
Conclusions:
The test chemical was not irritating to human skin after 48 hours exposure.
Executive summary:

A skin irritation study was performed on humans to assess the irritation potential of test chemical.

The test chemical was tested 4% in petrolatum in 25 human volunteers in 48 hours closed patch test.

No signs of irritation were observed after 48 hours of exposure.

Hence, the test material was considered not irritating to human skin.
