Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The test substance is considered as non-irritating to the skin.. The test material is not classify as a "primary irritant to the skin". It would be regarded as a mild irritant to the skin of the albino rabbit according to the Draize system of classification.
Executive summary:

The aim of this study was to investigate the degree of irritation produced to the abraded and intact skin of 6 albino rabbits following 24 hours occluded contact with the test material. The procedure used is that described in the U.S.Federal Register, 1973, Vol.38,No.187, Section 1500:41 (similar to OECD Guideline 404). 0.5 g of the test sample was applied to each of two 2.5cm square surgical lint pands attached to "Sleek" plastic adhesive wrapping. The duration of the exposure was 24 hours. Skin examinations were conducted at 24, 72h after patch removal. The average scores produced by the group of 6 rabbits were 0.0 for erythema and 0.0 for oedema, giving a primary irritation score of 0.0. No reactions were observed throught the study.

The test substance is considered as non-irritating to the skin.
