Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: Not Sensitizing
Conclusions:
Based on all the observations and results, it was concluded that the test chemical was not considered to be sensitizing to the human subject, and is thus not likely to be classified for sensitization as per CLP.
Executive summary:

A skin sensitization study was performed using the test chemical on human subjects so as to identify the sensitizing potential of the test chemical. The test material (3% of the test chemical in a soap plus borate solution was applied under occlusive patches in a series of 9 applications (each of 24 hours' duration) during a 3 week period to 72 human subjects. Challenge applications were made 2 weeks later. The vehicle also was applied as a negative control. No positive control was applied. The test application sites were graded for primary irritation at various intervals. The material did not appear to cause irritation. None of the subjects were sensitized. Hence, based on all the observations and results, it was concluded that the test chemical was not considered to be sensitizing to the human subject, and is thus not likely to be classified for sensitization as per CLP.
