Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- A maximization test (Kligman 1966) was carried out on 25 volunteers. The test item was tested at a concentration of 8 % in petrolatum and produced no sensitisation reactions.
- Executive summary:
In the publication by Opdyke et al. (1982) the results of a study performed by Kligman (1976) were referenced. Kligman conducted a maximisation test (Kligman 1966) on 25 human volunteers. The test item ethyl lactate was tested at a concentration of 8 % in petrolatum and produced no sensitisation reactions. By way of read-across, this may be considered as an indicatition that lactate esters in general, including isobutyl-R-lactate, do not entail a skin sensitisation hazard.
