Executive summary:

The study was performed in 1983 under GLP according to OECD 404. Three albino rabbits were treated semi-occlusive with 0.5 ml test item was applied on a 2.5 x 2.5 cm patch. Observation times were 24, 48 and 72 hours after removal of the patch. Neither erythema nor oedema were observed in this study. Therefore, EAA is not irritating to rabbit skin.
