Irritant / corrosive response data:
There was no dermal irritation observed for two treated dose sites. Oedema (score of 1) but no erythema was noted at one treated site immediately after patch removal and at the 30-60 minute scoring interval. Oedema cleared from the dose site by 24 hours.
Other effects:
All animals appeared active and healthy and gained body weight during the study.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
There was no dermal irritation observed for two treated dose sites. Oedema (score of 1) but no erythema was noted at one treated site immediately after patch removal and at the 30-60 minute scoring interval. Oedema cleared from the dose site by 24 hours.
Executive summary:

A primary skin irritation test was conducted with rabbits to determine the potential for the test substance to produce irritation after a single topical application. Five-tenths of a millilitre of the test substance was applied to the skin of one healthy rabbit for 4 hours. The dose site was evaluated for dermal irritation by the method of Draize et al. immediately after patch removal and at 30-60 minutes and 24, 48, and 72 hours after patch removal. Since there was no significant dermal irritation observed in this animal, the test was completed on two additional animals, as described above, except the dose sites were not evaluated immediately after patch removal. There was no dermal irritation observed for two treated dose sites. Oedema (score of 1) but no erythema was noted at one treated site immediately after patch removal and at the 30-60 minute scoring interval. Oedema cleared from the dose site by 24 hours.
