Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Under the test conditions, Nomcort HK-P is not a skin irritant.
Executive summary:

The primary skin irritation potential of Nomcort HK-P was investigated according to OECD test guideline no. 404. The test item was applied by topical semi-occlusive application on an area of approximately 6 cm2 to the intact left flank of each of three young adult New Zealand White rabbits. The duration of treatment was four hours. the scoring of skin reaction was performed 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after removal of the dressing.

The mean score was calculated across 3 scoring times (24, 48 and 72 hours afterpatch removal) for each animal for erythema/eschar grades and for oedema grades, separately.

The test item did not elicit any skin reactions at the application site of any animal at any of the observation times (all scores 0). The individual mean score for erythema/eschar and oedema for each of the three animals was therefore 0.

The test item caused no staining of the treated skin. No corrosive effects were noted on the treated skin of any animal at any of the measuring intervals and no clinical signs were observed.

Thus, the test item did not induce significant or irreversible damage to the skin.
