- Housing: animals were housed individually in suspended metal cages
- Diet (e.g. ad libitum): ad libitum
- Water (e.g. ad libitum): ad libitum
- Acclimation period: minimum 5 days

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 17 to 20 °C

Irritant / corrosive response data:
The individual scores for erythemaleschar and oedema, are given in Table 1 (see attached background material)
Mean values required for EU labelling regulations are given in Table 2 (see attached background material).

Very slight erythema was noted in 2 treated skin sites 1 hour after patch removal. All treated skin sites appeared normal at the 24-hour observation.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The skin irritancy potential of the test material was assessed according to OECD guideline 404. The test material produced a primary irriation of 0.0 and was classified as a non-irritant to rabbit skin according to the Draize classification scheme. No corrosive effects were noted.

The test material does not meet the criteria for classification as irritant or corrosive according to Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 (CLP).
Executive summary:

A study was performed to assess the irritancy potential of the test material to the skin of the New Zealand White rabbit. The method used followed the recommendations of the OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals No. 404 "Acute Dermal Irritation/Corrosion) and Method B4 of Commission Directive 92/69/EEC).

A single 4-hour, semi-occluded application of the test material to the intact skin of 3 rabbits produced very slight erythema. All treated skin sites appeared normal at the 24-hour observation.

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

The test material does not meet the criteria for classification as irritant or corrosive according to Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 (CLP).
