Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: not sensitizing
Conclusions:
The test chemical was not a contact sensitizer when 1.5% test chemical in aqueous soap suspension was used for induction. Hence, the test chemical was considered for not sensitizing to skin
Executive summary:

Draize test was performed to evaluate the dermal sensitization potential of the test chemical.

200 normal human volunteers aged between 21 -50 years were used for the study. 0.5 g of 1.5% test chemical was applied to the upper lateral portion of the arm, covered with an occlusive patch, and removed after 48 or 72 hours.10 epicutaneous applications were administered successively to the same site for induction. After a rest period of 2 weeks, the challenge patch was applied for 72 hours, the reactions were read. Skin reactions were assigned four grades of intensity: 1 = erythema; 2

= erythema snd induration; 3 =vesiculation;and 4 =bulla formation.

The test chemical was not a contact sensitizer when 1.5% test chemical in aqueous soap suspension was used for induction. Hence, the test chemical was considered for not sensitizing to skin
