Any other information on results incl. tables

Very slight erythema was observed in all animals at the 1-hour and 24-hour examination. At the 48-hour examination, very slight erythema was still detectable in two animals. All skin reactions were fully reversed within 72 hours after patch removal.

There was no mortality in the test.

There were no remarkable clinical observations.

Body weights were not affected by treatment.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Executive summary:

A dermal irritation/corrosion test according to OECD TG 404 was conducted with test article. The test article (0.5 ml) was applied to the shaved skin of three male rabbits for four hours under occlusive conditions. The test sites were examined for skin irritation at 1, 24, 48, and 72 hours after patch removal. Very slight erythema was observed in all animals at the 1-hour and 24-hour examination. At the 48-hour examination, very slight erythema was still detectable in two animals. All skin reactions were fully reversed within 72 hours after patch removal. There was no mortality, and there were no remarkable clinical observations.

Body weights were not affected by treatment.
