Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
During the entire test no signs of irritation occured. Therefore, the substance was considerd not to be skin irritating.
Executive summary:

The substance was tested for skin irritation according to OECD guideline 404. 3 New Zealand albino rabbits were treated with

500 mg of the test item mixed with 0.8 ml physiol. saline. After 4 hours exposure time the substance was removed by washing with lukewarm tap water. The observation period was 72 h. No signs of irritation were observed at any point in time of observation.
