Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information
Conclusions:
Under the test conditions chosen and considering the described findings the test substance does not give indication of an irritant property to the skin.
Executive summary:

In an in vivo skin irritation study performed according to OECD guideline no. 404 and in compliance with GLP, the potential of the test substance to cause acute dermal. irritation or corrosion was assessed by a single topical application of 0.5 g of the test substance

to the intact skin of 3 New Zealand White rabbits for 4 hours under semiocclusive dressing. As no skin findings were observed in all animals within 72 hours after removal of the patches, the study was terminated. Under the test conditions chosen and considering the described findings the test compound does not give indication of an irritant property to the skin.
