Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: not sensitizing
Conclusions:
The skin sensitization test for phenylacetic acid (103-82-2) was considered to be non- sensitizing to humans.

Executive summary:

Skin sensitization test was performed on 25 human volunteers by maximization test at 2% concentration in petrolatum. After observation no skin sensitization reaction was noted. Hence phenylacetic acid (103-82-2) was considered to be non- sensitizing to humans.
