Any other information on results incl. tables

A mean primary dermal irritation index of 0.35 out of a maximum score of 8.0 indicated that the test substance was minimally irritating.  The mean erythema score for the intact skin was 0.25, and the mean oedema score was also 0.25.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Application of the material to the clipped skin of rabbits under occlusive patch for 24 hrs did not result in significant dermal irritation.
Executive summary:

The material was applied to the clipped skin of three male and three female New Zealand White rabbits for 24 hours. 0.5 mL of test substance was applied to both abraded and non-abraded skin areas and covering with a closed patch. The animals were monitored over 72 hours post exposure and scored according to the Draize scale. Significant irritation was not observed following treatment.
