Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The test material not irritant after semi-occlusive treatment of rabbit skin for 20 hours.
Executive summary:

The skin irritation hazard was tested in rabbits by semi-occlusive application of the test material for 20 hours. Animals were treated with a 50% aqueous paste. Observations werer made after 1, 5 oand 15 minutes of contact to the skin. Afterwards animals were treated for 20 hours.

After application for short periods the skin was without any finding. Application for 20 hours caused very slight to slight reddening of the treated areas in 3 of 4 rabbits. Additionally the skin was blue discolored by the test material.
