Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

not irritating

Remarks:

Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU

Conclusions:

No skin irritation was observed at any time point in any of the animals. According to EC criteria in Guidelines in Commission Directive 93/21/EEC, the test material does not have to be classified and has no obligatory labelling requirement for skin irritation.

Executive summary:

Primary skin irritation study with the test material in the rabbit (4 hour semi-occlusive application) was conducted. Three rabbits were exposed to 0.5 ml of test material, applied onto clipped skin for 4 hours using a semi-occlusive dressing. Observations were made at 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after exposure. No skin irritation was observed at any time point in any of the animals. According to EC criteria in Guidelines in Commission Directive 93/21/EEC, the test material does not have to be classified and has no obligatory labelling requirement for skin irritation.
