Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
4 hrs semi-occlusive path of 0.75 g of the paste of Sodium surfactin (Sodium surfactin: 0.5 g) on the dorsal region of three rabbits produced no dermal changes in any of the animals. It is concluded from the results that Sodium surfactin has no irritative potential for rabbit skin.
Executive summary:

4 hrs semi-occlusive path of 0.75 g of the paste of Sodium surfactin (Sodium surfactin: 0.5 g) on the dorsal region of three rabbits produced no dermal changes in any of the animals. It is concluded from the results that Sodium surfactin has no irritative potential for rabbit skin.
