Other effects:
Red/brown coloured staining was noted at all treated skin sites througout the study. The staining did not affect evaluation of skin responses.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The test material produced a primary irritation index of 0.0 and was classified as non-irritant to rabbit skin according to the Draize classification scheme. No corrosive effects were noted.
Executive summary:

Introduction. The study was performed to assess the irritancy potential of the test material to the skin of the New Zealand White rabbit. The method was designed to meet the requirements of the following:

  • OECD Guidelines for the Testing of Chemicals No. 404 “Acute Dermal Irritation/Corrosion” (adopted 24 April 2002)
  • Method B4 Acute Toxicity (Skin Irritation) of Commission Directive 2004/73/EC

Results. A single 4-hour, semi-occluded application of the test material to the intact skin of three

rabbits produced no evidence of skin irritation.

Conclusion. The test material produced a primary irritation index of 0.0 and was classified as non-irritant to rabbit skin according to the Draize classification scheme. No corrosive effects were noted.
