Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The 2 % test substance was not skin irritating to humans.
Executive summary:

The pre test of the maximization test showed that the 2 % test substance had no skin irritation properties. An occlusive application of the test substance without additional treatment was done. The patches on skin (forearm or back) were applied for 48 h. All 25 volunteers remained without any skin reaction. Therefore the test substance was considered not irritating in humans.
