Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: Not sensitizing
Conclusions:
The test chemical Anisyl Formate (CAS No: 122-91-8) was considered to be not sensitizing on the skin of 22 volunteers in a Human Maximization test
Executive summary:

Human Maximization test was conducted for test chemical Anisyl Formate (CAS No: 122-91-8) on 22 volunteers in order to determine the skin sensitization potential caused by the chemical.

 

Anisyl formate was applied at concentration of 4% in petrolatum on skin of each subject and later observed for skin reactions.

 

None of the subjects showed any cutaneous reaction. Therefore, Anisyl Formate (CAS No: 122-91-8) was considered to be not sensitizing on the skin of 22 volunteers.
