Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

other: not classified according to the CLP Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008

Conclusions:

The test item was found to be not irritating to rabbit skin.

Executive summary:

The skin irritation potential of the test item was evaluated in an in vivo experimental study, according to a method similar to the OECD Guideline 404. The test item was applied to the shaved dorsal region of 3 male New Zealand White rabbits for a duration of 4 hours with an occlusive bandage, after which the bandage was removed and skin was evaluated for erythema and oedema after 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours, and 7 and 14 days.

The mean (24/48/72 hours) erythema scores for each animal were 1.67 (animal #1) and 0.67 (animals #2 and #3); the mean (24/48/72 hours) oedema scores were were 0 in all animals. The effects observed were fully reversible within 7 days.
