Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: not irritating
Conclusions:
No signs of irritation were noted on the rabbit skin. The primary irritation index was reported to be 0.0.
Based on the scores and observations, the test chemical can be considered not irritating to rabbit skin.
Executive summary:

The dermal irritation potential of the test chemical was assessed in rabbits.0.5 ml of semi permanent dye containing 0.38% (wt/wt) test chemical was applied to the intact skin of 6 rabbits and observed for signs of irritation. The dermal reactions were observed and scored at 24 and 72 hours. The maximum score for dermal reactions was 4.

No signs of irritation were noted on the rabbit skin. The primary irritation index was reported to be 0.0.

Based on the scores and observations,the test chemical can be considered not irritating to rabbit skin.
