Details on study design:
TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: 6 cm2
- Type of wrap if used: the test article was covered with a 3.0 cm x 3.0 cm patch of surgical gauze. The gauze was covered with a semi-occlusive dressing. The
dressing was wrapped around the abdomen and anchored with an elastic bandage.

- Time after start of exposure: 4h

SCORING SYSTEM: ERYTHEMA AND ESCHAR FORMATION score 0-4, EDEMA FORMATION score 0-4

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
All calculated scores (mean of 24, 48 and 72 h) were of grade 0.00.
The test item is not subject to classification and labelling.
Executive summary:

The test item was tested for primary skin irritation according to OECD TG 404.

Under the conditions of this experiment, the test item was found to cause a primary irritation score of 0.00, when applied to intact rabbit skin. Local signs (mean of 1 hour to 72 hours) consisted of grade 0.00 erythema and grade 0.00 edema. In the area of application, orange staining of the treated skin by pigment or co1oring ef the test article was observed in all animals at any of the examination intervals. No corrosive effect had occurred on the skin at any measuring interval.
