TEST SITE
- Preparation: about 2 to 16 h before the start of the study the skin on the back of 6 rabbits was clipped on both sides of the body on an area of approximately 6.25 x 6.25 cm using electric clippers. The skin on the right side at the test patch application site was additionally scarified using a scalpel.
- Area of exposure: 2.5 x 2.5 cm, covered with medical gauze and indifferent, impermeable PVC foils (5 x 5 cm)
- Type of wrap if used: Eloflex as elastic bandage


REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Time after start of exposure: 24 hours with water or Lutrol 400/water


SCORING SYSTEM: according to the score of Draize

After 7 days, evaluation of the subcutis and the muscles below at necropsy

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
In the experimental conditions the test item is detemined to be not irritating to the skin.
Executive summary:

In the primary skin irritation test according to the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 16, Section 1500.41 the test item produced a primary irritation score of about 0.88 in intact scarified skin, leading to the conclusion of "not irritant". The main effects in erythema and edema formation was seen in scarified skin, the intact skin did not show signs of irritation. No effects were seen at necropsy in the subcutis. According to GHS classification, the test substance is not irritating to skin.
