Irritant / corrosive response data:
All animals showed slight erythema from 1- 72 h after patch removal. In 1 animal an increase to more definite erythema was noted at 24 h after patch removal. This animal continued to show slight erythema for 14 d after patch removal, with the skin becoming dry and flaky at the test site after 13 d.

No oedema was noted during the observation period.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
