Irritant / corrosive response data:
The indiviual scores are presented in Table 1 (see box "Any other information on results incl. tables"). No erythema scores according to Draize were awarded due to colouration of the skin by the test substance for the first 24 hours. From 48 hours to 72 hours no reactions were observed.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: not classified as skin irritant according to the CLP Regulation (EC) No.1272/2008
Conclusions:
In the acute dermal irritation/corrosion study according to OECD 404 the test item is considered to be non-irritating to the skin.
Executive summary:

In a primary dermal irritation study, three female New Zealand White rabbits (approx. 12 -14 weeks old, 2160 - 2990 g) were dermally exposed to 0.5 g of the test item on a moistened gauze patch to the shaved flank. Test sites were covered with a semi-occlusive dressing for 4 hours. Animals were then observed for 72 hours. Irritation was scored by the method of Draize.

In this study, the test item is not a dermal irritant.
