Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: Not sensitizing
Conclusions:
A maximization test was carried out on 25 volunteers.Methyl abietate was tested at a 2% concentration in petrolatum and produced no sensitization reaction. Therefore Methyl abietate (127-25-3) was considered to be not sensitizing in human
Executive summary:

A maximization test was carried out on 25 volunteers.Methyl abietate was tested at a 2% concentration in petrolatum and produced no sensitization reaction. Therefore Methyl abietate (127-25-3) was considered to be not sensitizing in human.
