The fourth edition continues the tradition of partnering with the ICDRG (International Contact Dermatitis Research
Group). The ICDRG was formed in 1966 to promote the understanding of contact dermatitis. It has had major roles in the
standardization of patch testing and the facilitation of regular scientific meetings, for over forty years and thirty
five years respectively. It has also been involved in the authorship of a number of publications on contact dermatitis.
Both Drs. Maibach and Lachapelle are members and the ICDRG is now comprised of representatives from all over the world,
and currently includes members from Belgium, Sweden, Denmark, the United Kingdom, USA, Germany, Singapore, Korea,
India,
Japan, Canada, Uruguay and Australia.
