Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The test substance revealed no skin irritating potential.
Executive summary:

The acute skin irritation / corrosion property of the test substance was determined in a study similar to OECD guideline 404 after single dermal administration to rabbits. 0.5 g of the test substance was prepared as 50 % suspension in polyethylene glycol and saline (70 : 30 parts) on a gauze patch (2.5 x 2.5 cm) and applied occlusively to the intact and abraded skin of 3 New Zeeland White rabbits of each sex for 24 hours. The skin reaction was appraised upon removal and during an observation period of 7 days on the basis of the Draize scoring system. Mean 24 - 48 - 72 hour scores were 0 for erythema and edema for the intact skin. In conclusion, the test substance revealed no skin irritating potential, even under more stringent conditions as required in the guideline.
