Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The test material produced a primary irritation index of 0.0 and was classified as NON-IRRITANT to rabbit skin according to the Draize classification scheme. No corrosive effects were noted.
Executive summary:

A study was performed to assess the irritancy potential of the test material to the skin of the New Zealand White rabbit. The method used followed the recommendations of the OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals No. 404. A single 4-hour, semi-occluded application of the test material to the intact skin of three rabbits produced no evidence of skin irritation. The test material produced a primary irritation index of 0.0 and was classified as nonirritant to rabbit skin according to the Draize classification scheme. No corrosive effects were noted.
