Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: sensitising
Conclusions:
The test substance showed moderate risk for human skin sensitization.
Executive summary:

The skin sensitization study was conducted on human subjects to assess the skin sensitization potential of test chemical.

The subjects were treated at dose of 500 mg in 5 ml A+D+GP Fat during induction and challenged at concentration 1000mg in 10 ml A+D+GP Fat.

The test chemical induced moderate skin sensitization at tested concentrations. Hence the test material was considered to be sensitizing to the skin of human subjects.
