Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
No skin irritating potential could be detected. The test material can be regarded as non irritant.
Executive summary:

The test performed in accordance with OECD TG 404. 0.5 g of the test material mixed with some drops aqua pro injectione were spread onto 6 cm² patches and applied to the intact skin of 3 previously shaven rabbits (females) for a 4 hours period under semiocclusive conditions. The first examination of the treated skin sites followed 1 hour after removal of the patches. Thereafter, examinations were performed daily for a further 7 days.

Under the conditions of the present study, no signs of toxicity were seen.
