Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Based on the results of this study, the test itm is not irritating to skin.
Executive summary:

The primary skin irritation potential of the test item was investigated according to OECD test guideline no 404.The test item (0.5 g, pasted with 0.2 ml polyethylene glycol 400) was applied to the intact skin of three New Zealand White rabbits under semi-occlusive conditions for four hours. The scoring of skin reactions was performed 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after removal of the test item. No erythema or edema were observed at any time point (score 0). Based on the results of this study, the test item is not irritating to skin.
