Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The substance is not skin irritating
Executive summary:

The substance was tested for skin irritation according to OECD 404. 3 male New Zealand White rabbits got applicated 500 mg of the test substance suspended in 0.4 ml 0.9% NaCl-solution.The exposure time was 4 hours. After removing the plaster and washing the contaminated skin no sign for skin irritation could be observed
