Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: not sensitizing
Conclusions:
Positive reaction was reported in 1 patient of the 16 tested. Hence, the test chemical can be considered as a non- sensitizer in humans
Executive summary:

The sensitization potential of the test chemical was determined by performing patch tests on humans. The dye was applied in Finn Chambers to the skin of 16 patients. The dermal reactions were read first at 2 or (more commonly) 3 days and again at 4–7 days. The reactions of the patients were graded as ‘?+ ‘ , ‘+’ and ‘++’ categories.

Positive reaction was reported in 1 patient of the 16 tested. Hence, the test chemical can be considered as a non- sensitizer in humans.
