Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Conclusions:
In skin irritation study of Geranyl nitrile ,the chemical was considered to be non-irritating when applied to human skin.


Executive summary:

Skin irritation study was performed in human subjects for test chemical Geranyl nitrile to evaluate its skin irritation potential by closed patch test.

The test chemical was applied fo 48 hours occlusion period at concentration of 12% in petrolatum and observations were made.

After 48 hours it was observed that the chemical failed to elicit any kind of skin irritation reaction. Therefore, Geranyl nitrile (CAS No: 5146 -66 -7) was considered to be not irritating in human subjects.
