Principles of method if other than guideline:
A maximization test (Kligman, 1966; Kligman & Epstein, 1975) was carried out on 25 healthy male and female volunteers. Application was under occlusion to the same site on the forearms of all subjects for five alternate-day 48 hour periods. Patch test sites were pretreated for 24 hours with 5% aqueous sodium lauryl sulfate under occlusion. Following a ten day rest period, a challenge patch was applied to a fresh site for 48 hours under occlusion. Reactions to challege were read at patch removal and 24 hours after patch removal.
