Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Under the conditions in this study n-Butyl acetate was not sensitising to humans.
Executive summary:

A repeated insult patch test has been performed with 50 humans (nine 24-hour applications with 0.2 ml of the test substance over three weeks; challenge 10 to 14 days after the final induction application). None of the participants showed a sensitising reaction to n-butyl acetate (Gad et al., 1986).

The study has been judged not to be reliable (RL3), due to insufficient description of the study design and the results.
