Number of animals:
5 animals
Details on study design:
TEST SITE

SCORING SYSTEM:
- Method of calculation: According to Draize (1959, see "Any other information on materials and methods incl. tables). Substances with an index of primary irritation of 2 or less are no to mild stimulating substances, those with an index of 2 to 5 moderate ones and those with an index of 5 more are strong stimulants.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
In an in vivo skin irritation study in rabbits according to OECD guideline 404 and GLP, no skin irritation was observed under the conditions of the study.
Executive summary:

The test compound was tested undiluted in a primary skin irritation test in rabbits according to OECD 404 and GLP. No irritation could be observed after 24 and 72 hours under the conditions of the study. The index of primary irritations (mean of 24- and 72-hour values) was 0, therefore the compound is considered to be non-irritant. After 7 days, the skin of the animals was checked again and no signs of irritation was observed.
