Conclusions:
Based on the results of this study, the test material is not irritating to rabbit skin.
Executive summary:

The primary skin irritation potential of the registration substance was evaluated according to OECD test guideline 404 using three New Zealand albino rabbits. Only animals with intact skin were used. Each animal was treated with 0.5 mL of undiluted test material moistered with NaCl.The test item was applied over the whole surface of a 2.5 x2.5 cm cellulose patch on a piece of surgical plaster. The plaster was fixed to the prepared skin area and then covered with a semi-occlusive bandage. The exposure period was 4 hours. After the exposure all remnants of the test material were carefully removed from the skin with warm tap water. Examinations of the skin took place after 30-60 minutes as well as 24, 48 and 72 hours after removal of the patches. Erythema and edema were evaluated numerically according to the score of DRAIZE. Slight erythemas were observed in two animals up to 24 hours after removal of the plaster. Form the 48 h reading until the end of the study no signs of irritation were observed in any of the animals. The overall mean scores over all animals after 24, 48 and 72 hours were 0.2 for erythema and 0.0 for edema. Based on the study results,no relevant skin irritating potential is attributable to the registration substance in rabbits under the described test conditions.
