Interpretation of results:

other: not irritating

Conclusions:

The pilot study group of 5 volunteers and remaining 23 volunteers completed the assay without any reactions. Therefore, it was reported that the test chemical was not a primary skin irritant.

Executive summary:

The objective of the assay was to study the irritating and sensitizing potentials of the test sample when applied to humans as a 10% solution in alcohol.

A total of 28 volunteers were randomly selected for the study. Of these 28 human subjects, 15 were male and 12 were female. The test sample was made up as a 10% (w/v) solution in alcohol. Immediately upon receiving the test sample, patches were applied to five of the volunteers as a preliminary check for primary irritation. Since no reactions were found in the 5 volunteers after 24 hours. The remaining individuals also had their arms patched. All applications were made as closed patches which were subsequently secured by overlying strips of firmly secured adhesive tape. These closed patches covered 0.5 of diluted test sample. The patches were applied on the arms of the human subjects. The pilot study group of 5 volunteers and remaining 23 volunteers completed the assay without any reactions. Therefore, it was reported that the test chemical was not a primary skin irritant.
