Endpoint:
skin irritation: in vivo

experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:

other: see 'Remark'
Remarks:
The study was performed pre-GLP and pre-guideline. The report is very concise. No data on test item composition or purity. The exposure was for a period of 24-hours and under occlusion. The test substance was not moistened to ensure optimal contact with the skin. However in 6 animals the skin was abraded and no reaction occured. Therefor the negative outcome of this test is acceptable.
