Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: not sensitizing
Conclusions:
No dermal reactions were observed in all treated patients. Thus the test material was not considered to be a potent  sensitizer in human patients suffering from pigmented contact dermatitis.
Executive summary:

A study was performed  in human volunteers to determine the degree of allergic reactions caused by the test chemical.

The test chemical 1% in petrolatum was applied onto the back of 8 healthy patients for 24 hours by using Finn Chambers® on Scanpor® (Epitest, Ltd. Oy). After removal of patch, skin reactions were assessed according to the ICDRG classification for 2 days. Twenty-eight healthy female volunteers, aged 20 and 21, were also tested with the sample as controls. None gave a positive reaction.

No dermal reactions were observed in all treated patients. Thus the test material was not considered to be a potent  sensitizer in human patients suffering from pigmented contact dermatitis.
