SCORING SYSTEM: according to FDA guideline
Erythema:
0: no erythema
1: very light erythema, barely perceptible
2: well defined erythema
3: moderate to severe edema
4: severe erythema (beet redness) to slight eschar formation (injuries in depth)

Edema:
0: no edema
1: very slight, barely perceptible edema
2: slight edema (edges of area well defined by definite raising
3: moderate edema, raised approx. 1 mm
4: severe edema (raised more than 1 mm and extending beyond area of exposure

Values for erythema and eschar formation at 24 and 72 h post application on intact and abraded skin each (4 values) have to be added.
Values for edema formation at 24 and 72 h post application on intact and abraded skin each (4 values) have to be added.
The total of eight values is divided by four, yielding the primary irritation index.

0-0.5: non irritant
0.6-3.0: slightly irritant
3.1-5.0: moderately irritant
5.1-8.0: severely irritant

Irritant / corrosive response data:
- 24 h post application no examination of erythema was possible due to intensive staining of the application site; no erythema were detectable at any later time point
- no edema were observed at any time point
- identical results were obtained with intact and scarified skin

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Under the conditions of this study the test item was not irritating to the skin of rabbits.

This conclusion is legitimated even though the applied testing regime differs from today's standard methods. Since the test conditions were more stringent than required by OECD 404 (i.e. 24 treatment, occlusive coverage, and scarified skin instead of 4 h treatment, semi-occlusive coverage, and intact skin) the test results are considered adequate to fulfill the endpoint requirements.
Executive summary:

6 New Zealand White rabbits were dermally exposed to 500 mg of the test item for 24 h on shaved intact and abraded skin under occlusive conditions. Obervations were performed 24, 48 and 72 h after start of exposure. Twenty four hours after application no examination of erythema was possible due to intensive staining of the application site. No signs of irritation (edema and erythema score 0) were observed on the intact or abraded skin. Under the conditions of this study the test item was not irritating to the skin of rabbits.
