Past meetings

ICDRG only

Initially the members of the ICDRG met twice yearly as a group to discuss various aspects of patch testing. This led to the development of the concept of the ‘standard’, now called ‘baseline’ patch test series. The group also contributed to many joint publications regarding contact dermatitis.
