Executive summary:

A human maximisation test was performed using 25 volunteers. The test item (purity not stated) was applied at a concentration of 12% in petrolatum. After induction (5 times patch application for 48 h) and challenge (14 days after induction, once for 48 h) exposures the summary stated that the test item produced no sensitisation reactions (Opdyke, 1978).
