Details on study design:
TYPE OF TEST(S) USED: patch test (epicutaneous test)

ADMINISTRATION
- Type of application: occluded and uoccluded
- Description of patch:
- Group A: occluded patch with the edges sealed using Blenderm; it was found the Blenderm induced reactions at the edges of the patches; the same group of subjects was treated again with both occluded and unoccluded samples. The occluded application in this case was made by saturation of the gauze pad of a Band-Aid Plastic Strip (Johnson & Johnson) which was applied tightly to the skin but not sealed.
- Group B: occluded patches using Band-Aid Plastic Strips as above
- Vehicle / solvent: isopropanol
- Concentrations: 6%

Results and discussion

Results of examinations:
MGK Repellent 874 was not a skin irritant or a skin sensitiser in humans at a concentration of 6%.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
MGK Repellent 874 was not a skin irritant or a skin sensitiser in humans at a concentration of 6%.
