Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Hydrogen chloride in water (B1150.01) did not produce skin sensitization in human.
Executive summary:

The skin sensitization potential of Hydrogen chloride in water (B1150.01) was assessed in a human repeat patch study. A total of 128 subjects participeted in the study. Subjects were exposed to 9 induction patches containing 0.5 ml Hydrogen chloride in water (B1150.01) under occlusion on a Monday, Wednesday and Friday schedule for a period of 3 weeks. Patches were removed 24 hours after each application and patch sites were graded at 48 hours after patch application prior to the next patch application. After 2 week rest period, subjects were challenged with 0.5 ml Hydrogen chloride in water (B1150.01) (24 hour patch exposure). Challenge patch sites were graded at 48 and 96 hours after patch application.

In this study, 119/128 subjects completed the study. A total of 9 subjects were dropped. Two subjects were dropped because they could not contact, five were out of town, while one other subject has started steroid medication and one forgot to attend the test.

No positive response indicative of skin sensitization was observed.

Hydrogen chloride in water (B1150.01) did not produce skin sensitization in human.
