Irritant / corrosive response data:
- Application of the test article to healthy intact rabbit skin resulted in a primary irritation score of 0.00.
- Local signs (mean values from 24 to 72 hours) consisted of grade 0.00 erythema and grade 0.00 edema. No signs of irritation were observed.
- No staining by the test article of the treated skin was observed.
Other effects:
- No clinical signs of systemic toxicity were observed in the animals during the test and observation period, and no mortality occurred.
- Animals gained normal body weight.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: not irritating according to EC regulation 1272/2008 and its amendments.
Conclusions:
After dermal application of 0.5 mg test substance according to OECD guideline 404 for 4 h skin was flushed with water and the skin was scored for erythema and edema after 24, 48 and 72 h. Since neither erythema nor edema were seen the test substance is considered to be "not irritating" to rabbit skin.
