Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: not sensitizing
Conclusions:
9 patients were tested with the dye.No positive reactions were reported by any of the 9 patients tested. The test chemical can be considered as a non- sensitizer in humans.
Executive summary:

The sensitization potential of the test chemical was determined by performing patch tests on humans. 9 patients were tested with the test chemical.

50% test chemical in petrolatum was applied in Finn Chambers to the skin of 9 patients. The reactions were first read at 2 or (more commonly) 3 days and again at 4–7 days. The reactions of the patients were graded as ‘?+ ‘ , ‘+’ and ‘++’ categories

No positive reactions were reported by any of the 9 patients tested. The test chemical can be considered as a non- sensitizer in humans.
