Applicant's summary and conclusion

Executive summary:

The skin sensitization potential of a formulation containing 97% ethyl acetate has been evaluated in human repeated insult patch testing. Twenty-five subjects were patch-tested with 0.3 ml under occlusive conditions for five consecutive 48 -hr periods. A challenge test 10 days after the final induction patch failed to elicit any skin reactions.
