Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Not irritating
Executive summary:

In a primary skin irritation study according to GLP and TG OECD 404 0.5 mL of the test substance were applied to the shaved skin of three male rabbits for 4 h with semi-occlusive dressing.

No oedema and were noted. Erythema were very slight (score 1) at 1 and 24 h after patch removal for all animals and for one animal at 48 h. At 72 h there were no more skin reactions.

PBO is not irritating to the skin.
