dermal
Details on study design:
Tetradecanol at a concentration of 12% in petrolatum was tested in two series of 25 human volunteers using the human maximisation procedure of Kligman 1966 and Kligman & Epstein, 1975.

Results and discussion

Results of examinations:
In the first panel sensitisation reactions were reported in 2/25 volunteers. No sensitisation reactions were observed in the second test panel. Overall it appears that tetradecanol is not a skin senisiter in man.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
In the first panel sensitisation reactions were reported in 2/25 volunteers. No sensitisation reactions were observed in the second test panel. Overall it appears that tetradecanol is not a skin senisiter in man.Tetradecanol is closely related to the registered substance, Alcohols, C16-18, and it is considered that read-across is valid.
