Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
CLP: not classified
DSD: not classified

The test item is considered to be "non irritating" to rabbit skin based on the classificatoin criteria according to EEC Commission Directive 93/21/EEC of April 27th, 1993.
Executive summary:

To assess the primary skin irritation of the test item, a primary skin irritation study was performed in one male and two female young adult New Zealand White rabbits.

The fur of the left flank was clipped and 0.5 g of the test item was applied epicutaneously to an area of approximately 6 cm². The area was then covered with a semi-occlusive dressing for approximately four hours. After the dressing and test item had been removed, the skin reactions (erythema, eschar and oedema formation) were evaluated at 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after application. The primary irritation score was calculated to reflect and classify the irritant potential of the test item.

The dermal exposure to the test item did not elicit any skin reactions at the application site of any animal at any time point of the observation period. The mean values from 24 to 72 hours were therefore "0" for erythema as well as for oedema.

Following the evaluation of the experimental data according to CLP/DSD classification criteria, the test item is classified as "not irritating" to rabbit skin.
