Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: not sensitizing
Conclusions:
The test chemical did not induce sensitization potential when tested in a Schwartz prophetic patch test. Hence the test material was considered as not sensitizing to the skin of guinea pigs.
Executive summary:

The Schwartz prophetic patch test was conducted on human subjects to determine the skin sensitization potential of test chemical.

 

The undiluted (100%) test chemical was applied onto the skin of 50 subjects and observed for skin reaction for 72 hours.

 

 None of the treated subjects showedany signs ofskin sensitizing effects.Hence the test material was considered as not sensitizing to the skin of human.
