The material did not appear to cause irritation. None of the subjects was sensitized.

Interpretation of results:
not sensitising
Conclusions:
The test chemical did not induce any allergic response on the human case subjects or animals. Hence the test chemical is not likely to classify as a "skin sensitizer".
Executive summary:

Data available for the test chemicals was reviewed to determine the skin sensitization study of the test chemical. The studies are as mentioned below:

In the patch test in humans, the test material (a 0.5% aqueous solution of a detergent mixture containing 10% brightener) was applied under occlusive patches in a series of 9 applications (each of 24 hours' duration) during a 3 week period to 70 human subjects. No sensitization reaction was observed. The test chemical did not induce any allergic response on the human case subjects. Hence the test chemical is not likely to classify as a "skin sensitizer" .

Another skin sensitization study was also performed using the test chemical on human female subjects so as to identify the sensitizing potential of the test chemical. 103 white females were subjected to ten repeated patch tests (intervals not given) and challenge performed fourteen days after last patch test, totaling eleven applications. A one-half inch square of white blotting paper was impregnated with 1 mg/ml aqueous solution of test material and then was applied on clean back and covered with an "Elastopatch" plaster. The patch was allowed to remain in contact with the skin for forty-eight hours. Upon removal the test areas were observed for immediate reaction. There was no evidence of primary irritation upon removal of the 48 hour patch tests and no indication of sensitization potential on the challenge. Therefore, based on all the observations and results, it was concluded that the test chemical was not found to be sensitizing to the human subject, and is thus likely to be considered as 'Non-Sensitizing' as per CLP.

The skin sensitization study of the test chemical was carried out in guinea pigs to determine its sensitization efficacy. Since the guinea pigs did not elicit any sensitizing effect, the test chemical was considered to be not sensitizing to the skin of guinea pigs and hence it is not likely to classify as a "skin senstizer".

Based on the data available and applying the weight of evidence approach, the test chemical did not induce any allergic response on the human case subjects or animals. Hence the test chemical is not likely to classify as a "skin sensitizer".
