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 to the skin.
Executive summary:

The substance was tested for skin irritation according to OECD guideline 404. 3 albino Newzealand rabbits were administered 500 mg of the test item suspended in 0.2 ml Polyethyleneglycol 400 with a semiocclusive coverage. Contact time was 4 hours and the observation period after removal of the substance was 14 days. from 48 hours to 7 days after removal of the substance the skin was dry, rough, fine scaled, parchment -like and chapped. 14 days after the application the animals showed no irritating symptoms at the skin. During the night from day 6 to day 7 one rabbit died without signs of intoxication. This animals had no signs of irritation at this point of time.

Based on the results, the substance has not to be classified as irritating to the skin
