Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
study cannot be used for classification
Conclusions:
A Primary Irritation Index (P.I.I.) of 1.2 was obtained at both intact skin and abraded skin on the white rabbit by the test substance. The test substance is thus, classified as slightly irritating.
Executive summary:

A Primary Irritation Index (P.I.I.) of 1.2 was obtained at both intact skin and abraded skin on the white rabbit by the test substance. The test substance is thus, classified as slightly irritating. Every skin changes on the 6 rabbits return to normal during the 72 hours to 192 hours after application.
