Method

Ethical approval:
confirmed, but no further information available
Details on study design:
Groups of at least 30 volunteers were used for each evaluation at each location, at least 2 locations tested each product. The undiluted material (0.2 ml) was applied to the outer arm using a Hill Top chamber for a period usually of 4 hours. The reaction was assessed at 24, 48 and 72 hours after initiation of the exposure. SDS (sodium dodecyl sulphate) was used as a positive control. If the proportion of the test group reacting to the test material was significantly less that those reacting to the positive control the material was considered as not classifiable as a skin irritant.
Exposure assessment:
not specified

Results and discussion

Results:
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:
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.
