Results and discussion

Any other information on results incl. tables

In this inter-laboratory assessment of the human patch test hexanol gave responses significantly lower than the positive control and results were 

similar between laboratories. N-hexanol was therefore not considered as a skin irritant.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
In this inter-laboratory assessment of the human patch test hexanol gave responses significantly lower than the positive control and results were
similar between laboratories. N-hexanol was therefore not considered as a skin irritant.
