Executive summary:

Acute dermal skin irritation/corrosion study in the rabbits was carried out with a procedure similar to OECD guideline 404. 6 rabbits were treated on abraded skin with the test substance for 24 h and observation upto 72 h. The flank skin was shaved at an area of 6 cm x 3 cm. One half of 3 x 3 cm was abraded by means of a scarificator. A gauze pad (2.5x2.5 cm) with 500 mg pasted test substance was applied to each 3x3 cm test area.

Overall mean irritation score noted was 3 wherein the reactions were not fully reversible within 72 h.Primary irritation index score was 2.96.
