Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The substance is not irritating for the skin.
Executive summary:

A skin irritation study has been performed in the rabbit with the substance according to the guideline B4.

Erythema and edema of grade 1 were observed within the first 24 h, at 24, 48 and 72, the grade for both effects was 0 in all animals.

So the substance is not irritating on the rabbit skin.
