Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The application of 0.5g of the test item to shaved dorsal area of trunk of albino rabbits caused only a slight erythema on hour after patch removal in two animals. No systemic toxic effects were observed.

Executive summary:

The acute dermal irritation/corrosion of the test item was tested in three albino rabbits.

The test article was applied in a single dose of 0.5 g to a shaved dorsal area of trunk and covered with agauze patch and aluminium foil which was held in contact with the skin by an occlusive dressing. Exposure duration was 4 hours. Thereafter residual substance was removed using water.

Animals were examined for mortality, clinical signs and signs of irritation response 60 minutes, 24, 48, 72 hours after patch removal.

Only a slight erythema was observed one hour after patch removal in two animals. No animal died or showed clinical signs in the course of testing.
