Irritant / corrosive response data:
Slight erythema (score 1) was recorded in all rabbits 1 and 24 hours after gauze patch removal and in one animal up to 72 hours.
Because reactions were observed within 3 days after removing the bandages, the observation period was extended to 7 days to determine the reversibility of the skin reactions. On day 7, skin reactions were fully reversed in all animals.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The test item caused minimal irritation below the threshold of significance and is therefore considered to be not irritating.
