Details on study design:
Method:
Primary skin irritation on rabbits is recorded in a 10 -grade ordinal series an is based upon the severest reaction that develops on the clipped skin of each of 5 albino rabbits within 24 hours of the uncovered application of 0.01 ml of undiluted sample.

Evaluation system:
Grade 1 in indicates no irritation and Grade 2 the least visible capillary infection from the undiluted chemical. Grade 6 indicates necrosis ehen undiluted and Grade 10 indicates necrosis from a 0.01 % solution
