Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
FAT 40'571/A is considered to be not irritating to rabbit skin.
Executive summary:

Primary skin irritation study with FAT 40571/A was carried out in New Zealand White according to OECD 404 and EU B 4 guideline with semi-occlusive type of coverage. The duration of treatment was four hours. The scoring of skin reactions was performed 1, 24, 48 and 72 h after removal of the dressing. The scores of each animal at the reading times 24, 48, 72 h were used in calculating the respective mean values for each type of lesion.

The primary irritation score was calculated by totalling the individual cumulative scores at 24, 48 and 72 h and then dividing by the number of data points. The primary irritation score was 0.00 (max. 8.0).

Local signs (mean values from 24 to 72 h) consisted of grade 0.00 erythema and grade 0.00 edema. No signs of irritation were observed. The test article caused red staining of the treated skin.

No corrosive effects were noted on the treated skin of any animal at any measuring interval.

Based on the study results the test article FAT 40571/A is considered to be "not irritating" to rabbit skin
