Duration of treatment / exposure:
4h
Observation period:
1, 24, 48 and 72 hours
Number of animals:

Details on study design:
STUDY DESIGN
The test substance was applied under a 6.25 cm2 patch to intact skin on each animal. The patches were covered by an overlapping patch of adhesive plastic. The whole area was then bound by occlusive tape (Acrylastic, Beiersdorf and Co.) wrapped round the entire trunk of the animal.

TEST SITE
The rabbits were prepared by shaving the skin of the back free of hair. The left and right site of the back were split up in four patch test areas and two areas were abraded.

SCORING SYSTEM:
The irritation scores were recorded.The irritation was assessed according to OECD 404.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
In a skin irritation study with rabbits, performed equivalent or similar to OECD 404 guideline, no irritation was observed.
Executive summary:

In a skin irritation study performed according to OECD test guideline 404, the substance (0.5 g) was applied onto the shaved skin of three rabbits using occlusive dressings for 4 hours. Under the conditions of this study, no irritation was observed for 72 hours. The test substance caused no erythema and no edema on the intact skin test sites. No signs of systemic intoxication were observed during the study period.
