Irritant / corrosive response data:
Immediately after removal of patch no erythema score could be determined due to pigment overlay. Edema score at this time point was 0 for all animals. No edema or eryhthema were seen 24 and 48 h after removal of the patch (score 0).
Results on scarified skin showed identical results.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The test material is not irritating to skin under these test conditions.
This conclusion is legitimate even though the applied testing regime differs from today's standard methods. Since the test conditions were more stringent than required by OECD TG 404 (i.e. 24 h treatment, occlusive coverage, and scarified skin instead of 4 h treatment, semi-occlusive coverage, and intact skin) the test results are considered adequate to fulfill the endpoint requirements.
Executive summary:

The test material was tested for skin irritancy according to FDA guidelines. Both intact and scarified skin sites of six rabbits were exposed to 0.5 g test substance for 24 h under occlusive conditions and the skin responses were watched for 48 hours after end of exposure. Immediately after removal of patch no erythema score could be determined due to pigment overlay. No erythema were seen at the later observation time points. No edema were seen at any time point (score 0). The test item is not irritating under these test conditions.
