Sensitization	Data lacking No valid studies are available. The available study gets a K4 since no original references are available only secondary references.The lack of individual scores and the use of a non-standard technique preclude classification on the basis of EU or GHS criteria   Classification and Labeling Since only secondary references are available the data is not sufficient for C&L purposes.
A maximization test was carried out on 25 volunteers. The material (RIFM no. 76-331) was tested at a concentration of 4% in petrolatum and produced no sensitization reactions.             In a human maximization study involving 25 subjects, there were no positive reactions to (2760 µg/cm^2) in petrolatum. The patch site was pre-treated for 24-h with 2.5% aqueous sodium lauryl sulfate under occlusion. Test material was then applied under occlusion to the same site on the volar forearm or back for a total of five alternate-day 48 h periods. Following a 10-day rest period, fresh challenge sites were pretreated for 1 h with 5–10% aqueous sodium lauryl sulfate solution and challenge patches were then applied to fresh sites under occlusion for 48 h. Challenge sites were evaluated immediately after patch removal and at 24 h	Kligman. A. M. (1966). The identification of contact allergens by human assay. III. The maximization test.

Repeated Insult Patch Test: Fifty-five human subjects received 24-hr exposures to test patches three times weekly for 3 weeks and a challenge patch in the sixth week. There was little or no primary irritation. There was, however, a definite indication of skin sensitization in 7 of the 35 subjects, and more or less equivocal evidence of sensitization in 10 other subjects.
