Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The material is not a skin irritant.
Executive summary:

The test article (500 mg/site) was applied to one intact skin site on each of six New Zealand White rabbits (3 males and 3 females). The test article was administered once and remained in contact with the skin for 4 hours. The skin was observed for erythema and edema and scored according to the Draize Score at 30 to 60 minutes, 24, 48 and 72 hours after application of the test article. No signs of erythema or edema were observed throughout the 72 hour observation period in any of the animals on test. The test article was not a dermal irritant.
