Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
2,6-DIMETHYL 2-HEPTENAL produced no reactions and were not considered significantly irritant or allergic in the 22 subjects tested.
Executive summary:

Twenty-two healthy male and female volunteers were screened and completed the study.

The material was applied under occlusion. Following a ten to fourteen day rest period challenge patches of all materials were applied under occlusion to fresh sites for 48 hours.

No reactions were observed from the 22 subjects screened.
