No skin sensitization reaction was observed according to the study. 12 controls showed negative reactions to the dilution 10- 3 (w/w).

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: Not sensitizing .
Conclusions:
The test substance 2-hydroxy-1H-isoindole-1,3(2H)-dionewas tested for its skin sensitizing potential in human by patch test.The substance 2-hydroxy-1H-isoindole-1,3(2H)-dione (524-38-9)is considered to be not sensitizing to human by patch test .
Executive summary:

Patch test was conducted for 2-hydroxy-1H-isoindole-1,3(2H)-dione (524-38-9) on human .A 2-hydroxy-1H-isoindole-1,3(2H)-dione atdilution of (0.00001)10-5 w/w and (0.000001)10-6 (w/w) in ethanol were applied by using patch on to the skin of an old man. He showedpositive reaction at 0.00001 concentration in ethanol but negative at 0.000001 concentration in ethanol during induction exposure. After a rest period of 4 months. At challenge ,test material at thedilution of (0.001)10-3 and (0.0001)10-4(w/w) in ethanol were applied by using patch on to the skin of same person., He showedpositive reaction at(0.001)10-3concentration in ethanol but negative at(0.0001)10-4concentration in ethanol during challenge. Therefore, the substance 2-hydroxy-1H-isoindole-1,3(2H)-dione (524-38-9)was considered to be not sensitizing to human by Patch test.
