Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: Not sensitizing.
Conclusions:
Skin sensitization potential for 3-methylbutyl benzoate (94-46-2) was observed in human. The 3-methylbutyl benzoate (94-46-2) was considered to be not sensitizing to humans by human maximization test.
Executive summary:

Skin sensitization potential for 3-methylbutyl benzoate (94-46-2) was observed in human by human maximization test. A group of 25 human volunteers were tested by maximization test at a concentration of 6% in petrolatum. No reaction was observed .Therefore, 3-methylbutyl benzoate(94-46-2) was considered to be not sensitizing to humans.
