Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 3 (mild irritant)
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The Primary Irritation Index (PII) score of Sodium Lauryl sulphate in New Zealand White Rabbit at 1% and 5% concentration was found to be 0.2 and 2 respectively.
Executive summary:

Potential dermal irritancy of Sodium Lauryl Sulphate was assessed inNew Zealand Whiterabbit at1% and 5% concentrationfor 24 hrs.The Primary Irritation Index (PII) score was found to be 0.2 at 1 % and 2 at 5% concentration. From this score it is concluded that the substanceSodium Lauryl Sulphate is mildly irritating to rabbit.
