SCORING SYSTEM:
Erythema and eschar formation:
No erythema .......................................................................................................................... 0
Very slight erythema (barely perceptible) ......................................................................... 1
Well-defined erythema ......................................................................................................... 2
Moderate to severe erythema............................................................................................... 3
Severe erythema (beet redness) *........................................................................................ 4
*. Where signs of necrosis or corrosion (injuries in depth) prevent erythema scoring, the maximum grade for erythema (= 4) is given.

Oedema formation:
No oedema ................................................................................................................................................. 0
Very slight oedema (barely perceptible) ................................................................................................ 1
Slight oedema (edges of area well-defined by definite raising) ......................................................... 2

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The substance was found not irritating in the skin of rabbits.
Executive summary:

The skin irritation of the substance was determinated according to OECD 404 guideline with GLP. The substance was found to be not irritating for the rabbits' skin. Slight irritation was observed in all three animals (both score: oedema and erythema) after four hours with the score 1, this result was fully reversible after 24 hours in all animals.
