Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: not irritating
Conclusions:
One rabbit showed erythema (score = 2) and oedema (score = 1) at 24 hours postexposure, both of which were reversed by seven days post-exposure.
Since the effects were reversible in 7 days, 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 according to OECD 404 Guidelines.0.5 g of the test chemical (mixed with 0.5 ml of distilled water to create a paste) was applied to the shaven skin of 3 male New Zealand White rabbits under semi-occlusive conditions for 4 hours. The test sites were observed for erythema and edema 24 hours post exposure till 7 days.

One rabbit showed erythema (score = 2) and oedema (score = 1) at 24 hours postexposure, both of which were reversed by seven days post-exposure.

Since the effects were reversible in 7 days, hence the test chemical was considered to be not irritating to skin
