Results and discussion

Results of examinations:
A repeated insult patch test employing a panel of 50 human test subjects was conducted with FireMaster PHT4. The results showed that no irritation reactions (all scores 0) were produced in any of the subjecs during the series of induction patch applications. There was no evidence of skin sensitization in any of the subjets.
