Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
other: as mentioned below
Principles of method if other than guideline:
To determine skin sensitization potential of test chemical in human using maximization test
GLP compliance:
not specified
Type of study:
other: Human Maximization test
Justification for non-LLNA method:
Currently no LLNA study is available for assessment. The Human Maximization test has been carried out as an animal test to predict human sensitization for over a decade and is recommended by international test guidelines such as OECD

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: not sensitising
Conclusions:
Since the test chemical did not cause any known signs of contact sensitization, it was considered as not sensitizing to human skin.
Executive summary:

Maximization test was performed in 25 human subjects to assess the skin sensitization potential of test chemical. The test chemical was applied dermally to the skin of human volunteers at a dose of 2% in petrolatum. Since the test chemical did not cause any known signs of contact sensitization, it was considered as not sensitizing to human skin.
