Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: Not sensitizing
Conclusions:
The colour did not produce either irritation or allergic responses during the induction phase nor contact dermatitis in the challenge period. Therefore the test chemical was considered to be not sensitizing in a Draize-Shelanski repeated insult patch test conducted on 200 human subjects.
Executive summary:

Draize-Shelanski repeated insult patch test was conducted on 200 human subjects to assess the skin sensitization potential of the test chemical .In this study, the chemical applied to the subject’s volvar forearms (200 subjects) as an aqueous solution for 10 alternate days, for 24-hour periods, followed by a 14-day rest period. Challenge batches were then applied under occlusion to fresh skin sites on the subjects scapular backs for 24 hours. The colour did not produce either irritation or allergic responses during the induction phase nor contact dermatitis in the challenge period. Therefore the test chemical was considered to be not sensitizing in a Draize-Shelanski repeated insult patch test conducted on 200 human subjects.
