SCORING SYSTEM: consistent with Draize Scale:
- Method of calculation:
Erythema and eschar formation:
No erythema .......................................................................................................................... 0
Very slight erythema (barely perceptible) ............................................................................... 1
Well-defined erythema ........................................................................................................... 2
Moderate to severe erythema................................................................................................. 3
Severe erythema (beet redness) *.......................................................................................... 4
*. to eschar formation preventing grading of erythema

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Remarks:
Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Under the conditions of this study, the test item is not considered to be irritating to the skin.
Executive summary:

The study was performed to OECD TG 404 and EU Method B.4 guidelines in accordance with GLP to assess the primary skin irritancy potential of the test item in New Zealand White rabbits. Three rabbits were exposed for 4-hour by semi-occluded application of the test item to the intact clipped skin with 0.5 mL test item introduced under a 2.5 cm x 2.5 cm semi-occlusive patch. The patch was secured in position with adhesive tape and elasticated corset. After exposure to the test item the patches were removed and individual dose sites were scored at approximately 1, 24, 48, and 72 hours. Very slight erythema (score = 1) and very slight oedema (score = 1) was observed in the treated skin at 1 hour. Mean scores following grading at 24, 48 and 72h were zero in all scoring criteria. Under the conditions of the study, the test item is not considered to be a skin irritant.
