Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- not irritating
- Remarks:
- Migrated information
- Conclusions:
- Under the conditions of the present experiment the test substance showed minimal erythema and edema formation, reversible within 72 hours.
- Executive summary:
The test substance (0.5 g) was applied under occlusive conditions to the intact and abraded skin of 6 New Zealand White rabbits. After 24 hours the dressing was removed and the scores were assessed at 24, 48 and 72 hours. Only minimal edema and erythema reactions were observed in both intact and abraded test sited, all reactions reversed to normal after 72 hours. Therefore, the test substance is not considered to be irritating to the rabbit skin.
