PrimaryIrritation Patch Test is performed to evaluate the primary skin irritation thatcan range from none, mild, moderate to severe irritation. This results fromreversible inflammatory changes in the skin following the application of a testsubstance depending on the irritation potential of the product. Based on theseverity of irritation caused due to the interaction of ingredients orcomposition of the test substance with the skin can cause perceivablesensations or symptoms. On the basis of this, the possible hazards likely toarise from exposure of the skin to the test substance can be assessed. To knowthe safety or possible irritant potential of these products, it should betested in small group of humans before release of the product in market. Thisallows to measure and evaluate the probable inflammatory response to anirritant which occurs only at the site of exposure. The response tends to beuniversal (produces a reaction in most individuals) and depends on the strengthand duration of exposure.
