Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other:
Remarks:
Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Mild and transient erythema and edema was observed in all animals. After 7 days, the skin of half of the test rabbits was slightly dry and beginning to flake.
Executive summary:

In this study male and female rabbits were exposed via occluded patch for 24 hours to 0.5 ml of neodecanoic acid to assess the irritation potential. The skin of the rabbits was abraded in half of the animals and non-abraded in the other half. Mild and transient erythema and edema was noted in all animals. All reactions were virtually fully reversible within 7 days post exposure. After, 7 days, the skin of half of the test rabbits was slightly dry and beginning to flake.
