For calculation of the means of erythema and edema only the readings of 24, 48 and 72 hours were used

 

The study was discontinued after the 72-hour reading because of severe irritation

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
corrosive
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Under the test conditions chosen and considering the findings described, Indigolösung BASF 20% gives indication of severe skin damage after an exposure period of 1 hour. As Indigo itself has proven not to be an irritant, this effect is most likely due to the NaOH content of the preparation.
