Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
No skin sensitisation was observed.
Executive summary:

A maximization test in 25 human volunteers was conducted. The 2 % test substance was applied on the volar forearm or back with an occlusive dressing for 5 alternate-day 48 h periods. The patch sides were pretreated with 2.5 % aqueous sodium lauryl sulfate under occlusion. The challenge side was read immediatly after patch removal and after 24 h. No volunteer showed any reaction on the skin. The test substance was not contact sensitising in humans.
