Results and discussion

Results of examinations:
Three/12 persons showed no, 7/12 doubtful and 2/12 positive reaction to the test substance after 24 h, but not after 48 and 72 hours, respectively. The reactions observed were assessed to be possibly irritating but not sensitizing effects and it was concluded that sensitization might occur more frequently due to prolonged and close skin contact of pads containing the
substance. A clear cut explanation for the observations made was not given.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Due to both the poor description of the study and the very weak irritating potential of the compound a verification of the results described is lacking.
