- Area of exposure: 2.5 x 2.5 cm gauze patch
- Type of wrap if used: PVC foil, elastic bandage

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Time after start of exposure: 24 h

SCORING SYSTEM: described in § 1500.41 in Fed. Reg. 38, No. 187, 27.09.1973, p. 27019, in accordance with OECD TG 404.
Scores were assessed 24, 48 and 72 h after start of exposure, which lasted for 24 h. For classification, the readings are stated here as immediately, 24 and 48 h after end of exposure.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The test material is not irritating to skin under these test conditions. This conclusion is legitimate even though the applied testing regime differs from today's standard methods, as no skin responses were observed in 6/6 animals 24 and 48 h after exposure, which lasted 20 h longer than required by OECD TG 404.
Executive summary:

The test material was tested for skin irritancy according to FDA guidelines. Both intact and scarified skin sites of six rabbits were exposed to 500 mg test substance for 24 h under occlusive conditions and the skin responses were watched for 48 hours after end of exposure. Neither erythema nor edema were noted 24 and 48 h after end of exposure. The test material is not irritating to skin under these test conditions.
