Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
slightly irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: other: Scoring according to Draize
Conclusions:
Since the test material produced a primary irritation index of 0.5 it can be considered as a very mildly primary irritant and not sufficient for classification.
Executive summary:

CERAPHYL® 41 was moderately irritating to rabbit skin. Three albino rabbits each received a single dermal application of CERAPHYL® 41 (0.5 ml) on one intact and abraded site per rabbit for 24 hours under occlusion. Dermal reactions were scored at 24 and 72 hours after unwrapping. Moderate erythema was observed at 24 hours on intact skin and at 24 and 72 hours on abraded skin. No edema was observed at any time. The primary irritation index was 0.5.
