Irritant / corrosive response data:
Erythema was observed in the intact and abraded skin of five animals. Edema was observed in the intact and abraded skin of four animals. Erythema cleared in the intact and abraded skin of one animal, and edema cleared in the intact skin of three animals, and abraded skin of two animals during the 72-hour observation period.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The test substance was a mild irritant to the rabbit skin under the conditions of the test. However due to the low response and the reversibility observed in the non-abraded skin, the test material is concluded to be a non-irritant to skin based on the criteria as defined by Regulation EC 1272/2008 (CLP).
Executive summary:

To skin irritation test was conducted to determine the effects of the test material (adminstered at 0.5 mL or 0.5g for 24 hours and observed at 24 and 72 hours) when applied to the rabbit's skin designed similar to the Draize procedure. The back of 6 rabbits were shaved free of hair; intact skin was exposed on the left half of the shaved area, and the abraded on the right half. Erythema was observed in the intact and abraded skin of five animals. Edema was observed in the intact and abraded skin of four animals. Erythema cleared in the intact and abraded skin of one animal, and edema cleared in the intact skin of three animals, and abraded skin of two animals during the 72-hour observation period. The test substance was a mild irritant to the rabbit skin. However due to the low response and the reversibility observed in the non-abraded skin, the test material is concluded to be a non-irritant to skin based on the criteria as defined by Regulation EC 1272/2008 (CLP).
