Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The study and the conclusions which are drawn from it fulfil the quality criteria (validity, reliability, repeatability). No response to application of the test substance was observed at any time during the observation period.
Executive summary:

The test substance was evaluated for the potential for acute skin irritation in rabbits. A dose of 0.5 g test substance with 0.5 mL water was applied to the intact skin site under a semiocclusive dressing for 4 hours. The application site was then washed. Observations were made after removal at 30 minutes and on Days 2, 3, and 4 after removal of the test substance. There were no signs of irritation at any time.
