Materials and methods
Test guideline
- Qualifier:
- no guideline available
- Principles of method if other than guideline:
- Shelanski HA and Shelanski MD (1953). A new technique of human patch tests. Proceedings of the Scientific Section of the Toilet Goods Association, No. 19, 46-49.
Substance applied to a patch of at least 6.5 square cm for 24 hr on 3 days/week for a total of 5 weeks, allowing the skin to recuperate for 24 hr between exposures. This method was reported to detect not only primary irritants but also cumulative irritants. - GLP compliance:

SCORING SYSTEM: Reactions judged by the investigators to be due to the test substance and not, for example, to the adhesive dressing were scored as follows:
? - questionable change
1/2 - mild erythema covering less than half of the contact site
1 - erythema confined to the contact site which exceeds that of the untreated skin
2 - erythema confined to the contact site which definitely exceeds that of the untreated skin, with or without papules
3 - erythema, with some skin hardening, with or without papules
4 - erythema, skin hardening, with one or more complications, such as extension beyond the margins of the contact area, vesiculation or ulceration

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- not irritating
- Remarks:
- Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
- Conclusions:
- Santicizer 160 (butyl benzyl phthalate) showed no irritating potential when applied to the skin of 200 human volunteers in a repeated-dose patch test.
- Executive summary:
Santicizer 160 (butyl benzyl phthalate) was assessed for its potential to cause skin irritation in humans using a repeated insult patch test method.
During the induction phase 200 healthy volunteers were exposed to 0.2 ml of the undiluted test substance applied to an occlusive patch for 24 hours on fifteen separate occasions. The skin was assessed for irritation after each induction exposure.
No evidence of irritation (or sensitization) was observed by the investigators or reported by any of the volunteers during the study.
Santicizer 160 (butyl benzyl phthalate) showed no skin irritation potential in healthy human subjects in a repeated insult patch test.
