Conclusions:
The test item did not reveal any remarkable irritation potential on the skin of rabbits, tested in this study according to OECD test guideline no. 404 and GLP conditions.
Executive summary:

The primary skin irritation potential of the test item was investigated according to OECD test guideline no. 404. The test item was applied by topical semi-occlusive application of 0.5 g mixed with 0.5 ml of purified water to the intact flank of each of three young adult New Zealand White rabbits. The duration of treatment was four hours. The scoring of skin reactions was performed 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours, as well as 7 and 10 days after removal of the dressing.

The mean score was calculated across 3 scoring times (24, 48 and 72 hours) for each animal for erythema/eschar grades and for oedema grades, separately. The mean erythema/eschar score of the three animals was 1.00, 0.67 and 0.00, respectively, and the mean oedema score was 0.00 for each of the three rabbits.

The application of test item to the skin resulted in very slight erythema. These effects were reversible and were no longer evident 7 days after treatment. The test item caused a yellow staining of the treated skin which persisted up to 7 days after treatment. No corrosive effects were noted on the treated skin of any animal at any of the measuring intervals and no clinical signs were observed.

Thus, the test item did not induce significant or irreversible damage to the skin.

Conclusions:
The test item did not reveal any remarkable irritation potential on the eyes of rabbits, tested in this study according to OECD test guideline no. 405 and GLP conditions.
Executive summary:

The primary eye irritation potential of the test item was investigated according to OECD test guideline no 405.The test item was applied by instillation of 0.1 g into the left eye of each of three young New Zealand White rabbits. The scoring of irritating effects was performed 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours as well as 7 days after test item instillation.

The mean score was calculated across 3 scoring times (24, 48 and 72 hours after instillation) for each animal for corneal opacity, iris, redness and chemosis of the conjunctivae, separately. The individual mean scores for corneal opacity were 0.00, 0.33 and 0.00 for the three animals. The individual mean score for iris was 0.00 for all three animals. The individual mean scores for the conjunctivae were 1.00, 1.00 and 0.33 for reddening, respectively and 0.00 for chemosis for each of the three animals. A slight corneal opacity affecting the whole area was observed in the treated eyes of all three animals 1 hour after the instillation and was still present in one animal at the 24-hour reading. Slight reddening of the conjunctivae was noted in all three animals from the 1-hour reading on and persisted up to the 24- or 72-hour reading. A slight swelling of the conjunctivae was observed in two animals 1 hour after instillation. Slight reddening of the sclerae was present in all three animals one hour after the instillation and persisted up to the 24-, 48- or 72-hour reading. Slight ocular discharge was observed in all three animals 1 hour after the treatment and still at the 24-hour reading in one animal. Remnants of the test item were noted in the treated eyes of the three animals 1 hour after test item instillation and still at the 24- and 48-hour readings in one animal. No abnormal findings were observed in the treated eye of any animal 7 days after treatment, the end of the observation period for all animals. No corrosion of the cornea was observed at any of the reading times.
