Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: not irritating
Conclusions:
No Signs of irritation were observed. The Draize score was 0.
Hence, the test chemical was considered to be not irritating to skin.
Executive summary:

The dermal irritation potential of the test chemical was assessed in rabbits.0.5 ml of 1.8% aqueous solution was applied under occlusion to the clipped skin of 3 Japanese White rabbits for 24 hours. The treated skin was observed at1, 24 and 48 hours.

No signs of irritation were observed. The Draize score was 0.

Hence, the test chemical was considered to be not irritating to skin.
