Irritant / corrosive response data:
Erythema score could not be determined immediately after exposure due to pigment overlay; none of the animals showed erythema at the intact or scarified skin 24 and 48 hours after end of the exposure.
None of the animals showed oedema at the intact or scarified skin at any time point (immediately, 24 and 48 hours after end of exposure).

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The test material is not irritating to skin under these test conditions.
This conclusion is legitimate even though the applied testing regime differs from today's standard methods. Since the test conditions were more stringent than required by OECD TG 404 (i.e. 24 h treatment, occlusive coverage, and scarified skin instead of 4 h treatment, semi-occlusive coverage, and intact skin) the test results are considered adequate to fulfill the endpoint requirements.
Executive summary:

The test material was tested for skin irritancy according to FDA guidelines. Both intact and scarified skin sites of six rabbits were exposed to 0.5 g test substance for 24 h under occlusive conditions and the skin responses were watched for 48 hours after end of exposure. Erythema score could not be evaluated immediately after end of exposure due to pigment overlay. No erythema were detectable 24 and 48 h after end of exposure. No oedema were detectable immediately after end of exposure and 24 or 48 hours later.

The test item was not irritating to skin under the conditions of this test.
