Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The test item was determined not to be irritating to the skin.
Executive summary:

This study was performed to assess the acute dermal irritation potential of the test item to the rabbit. The method followed was as per the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals No. 404 (adopted 17th July 1992) "Acute Dermal Irritation".

A single dose of 500 mg test item was moistened with distilled water and applied to intact skin of three male rabbits and kept in place for 4 hours, after which the test substance was removed with wet cotton. Observations were recorded at 1, 24, 48 and 72 h after removal of patch, using the Draize method to score dermal irritation. The treated skin sites in all animals appeared normal at one hour after patch removal.

The primary irritation index (PII) observed was 0 at 1, 24, 48 and 72 hour observation. Thus, the test item is classified as non-irritant to rabbit skin.
