Study type:

study with volunteers

Test guideline

Qualifier:

no guideline followed

Principles of method if other than guideline:

In a pre-test a patch of the test item was applied to the back of 5 human volunteer and left under occlusion for 48 hours to determine if sodium lauryl sulfate pre-treatment was required. In the main maximization test the test item was applied under occlusion on the volar forearm of 25 subjects for 5 alternate-days for periods of 48 hours. The patch site was pre-treated for 24 hours with 5% aqueous sodium lauryl sulfate under occlusion. The challenge site was read on removal of the patch and 24 hours later.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:

The substance is not skin sensitising in humans.

Executive summary:

In the current study the contact sensitizing potential of the test item was assessed in 25 human volunteers.

In the pre-testing phase the test item patches of the test item were applied to the back of 5 human volunteer and left under occlusion for 48 hours. No subject had any irritation from the test item and it was decided to use SLS in the main test.

During the main maximization test the test item was applied under occlusion on the volar forearm of the subjects for 5 alternate-days for periods of 48 hours. The patch site was pre-treated for 24 hours with 5% aqueous sodium lauryl sulfate under occlusion. The challenge site was read on removal of the patch and 24 hours later.

The test item was found to not produce skin sensitization effects under the conditions of the test.
