Details on study design:
Other: Patch tests were carried out with European Standard series except for primin(TRUE TEST) with aqueous nicotine sulphate 5% were tested. The patches were applied to the backs of subjects and were read at 2 and 3 days according to the recommendations of the ICDRG.
Positive patch test reactions were further assessed as irritant or allergic.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: not sensitizing
Conclusions:
Positive reactions were observed in only 1 volunteer.The test chemical was considered to be an insensitive test agent, mostly due to its poor solubility.Hence,the test chemical can be considered to be not sensitizing to skin.
Executive summary:

Patch tests were performed with aqueous solution of test chemical to determine the degree of allergenic reactions. Patch tests were carried out with European Standard series except for primin(TRUE TEST) with 5% aqueous test chemical were tested. The patches were applied to the backs of 14 volunteers (10male and 5 female) and were read at 2 and 3 days according to the recommendations of the ICDRG. Positive patch test reactions were further assessed as irritant or allergic. Positive reactions were observed in only 1 volunteer.The test chemical was considered to be an insensitive test agent, mostly due to its poor solubility. Hence, the test chemical can be considered to be not sensitizing to skin.
