Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Executive summary:

Thyssen/Bayer AG (1979):

In a primary dermal irritation study, the skin irritation/corrosion potential of phthalimide was tested. 500 mg/animal of the test substance was applied to the inside of rabbit ear of 2 animals, for 24 hours and animals were observed for 7 days. Phathalimide resulted to be not irritating, as no edema and no erythema were seen at any time point.
