Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: no classification is required
Remarks:
Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Under the conditions of this study, the test substance produced erythema, which cleared by 24 hours, when applied to the skin of rabbits. This study and the conclusions which are drawn from it fulfill the quality criteria (validity, reliability, repeatability).
Executive summary:

The test substance was applied as a single 0.5-mL dermal dose to the shaved intact skin of a single New Zealand White rabbit. Since no corrosion occurred, 2 additional rabbits were treated. The test substance was applied to a 6 cm² area of skin. The application area was covered with a 2-ply gauze square which was held in place with non-irritating tape and covered with porous tape for a semi-occlusive dressing. The rabbits were exposed to the test substance for 4 hours after which the test substance was removed. Test sites were evaluated and scored by the method of Draize for signs of dermal irritation approximately 60 minutes, and 24, 48/50, and 72 hours after test substance removal. The rabbit that was initially treated was also examined immediately after test substance removal. Erythema (score of 1 or 2) but no edema was observed in the 3 rabbits on the day of dosing. No dermal irritation was observed at 24, 48/50, or 72 hours after removal of the test substance. No clinical signs were observed, and no body weight loss occurred. Under the conditions of this study, the test substance produced erythema, which cleared by 24 hours, when applied to the skin of rabbits.
