Results and discussion

In vivo

Results
Irritation parameter:
overall irritation score
Basis:
animal: mean of 3 animals
Time point:
24/48/72 h
Score:
0
Max. score:
4
Remarks on result:
no indication of irritation
Irritant / corrosive response data:
no skin irritating effects (erythema and edema) were observed 1, 24, 48, 72 hours and 7 days after patch removal; the experiment was therefore stopped after 7 days

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Executive summary:

In a skin irritation study on 3 rabbits performed in 1985 according to OECD 404 the solid test substance pasted with water did not show any indication of irritating effects. The mean irritation score was derived with 0.0.
