Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: expert judgment
Conclusions:
The mean in vitro irritancy score was 24 after 240 minutes of treatment with 4B-acid. Since this is below 55,1 4B-acid is considered to be Non-irritating
