Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- other: Not irritating
- Conclusions:
- The test chemical was tested at a concentration of 4 % in petrolatum which produced no irritation in a 48-hr closed-patch test in human subjects.
- Executive summary:
Skin irritation study for test chemical was conducted on five adult male patients as in a preliminary study of a maximization test. The test chemical was applied at a 4% concentration under occlusion for 48 h to the back each patients. There was no irritation seen in any subjects. Hence the test chemical considered to be not irritating to the skin of treated subjects.
