Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Under the conditions of the present study, no signs of irritation were seen. Thus, the test item is not considered to be irritating to rabbits' skin.
Executive summary:

To investigate the potential for primary skin irritation, 0.5 g of the test material were mixed with a few drops of Aqua pro injectione to ensure good contact to the skin, spread onto patches, and then applied to the intact skin of three previously shaven rabbits for a 4 hours period under semiocclusive conditions. The first examination of the treated skin sites followed 1 hour after removal of the patches. Then, examinations were performed daily for another 7 days.

The individual mean scores (considering readings 24, 48, and 72 hours after patch removal) of each animal were 0 for erythema and edema. Furthermore, no signs of systemic toxicity, no mortality and a normal body weight gain were observed.

Under the conditions of the present study, the test item is not considered to be irritating to skin.
