Details on study design:
Protocol: Test article (0.5 ml) was applied to shaved skin sites (intact and abraded, occluded) of 6 young adult New Zealand White rabbits, weighing 2 to 3 kg. Dermal scoring of erythema and edema on both skin sites at 24 and 72 hours, and calculation of the primary irritation index, was performed according to Draize (1959). Study duration was 4 days.

Results and discussion

In vivo

Results
Irritation parameter:
primary dermal irritation index (PDII)
Basis:
mean
Time point:
72 h
Score:
0.66
Reversibility:
fully reversible within: 4 days
Irritant / corrosive response data:
Draize Primary Irritation Index = 0.66 of 8.0; considered to be minimally irritating. Slight to well-defined erythema was observed only at the 24 hour observations; very slight edema was observed at the 72 hour observations. All scores returned to normal by the 4 day observations.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 3 (mild irritant) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
The intermediate substance is not classified with regards to Skin irritation according to CLP Criteria
