Number of animals:
3
Details on study design:
TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: two 16-layer gauze patches (2.5 x 2.5 cm)
- Type of wrap if used: Micropore tape, 5 cm width

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): yes, with lukewarm water

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 2 (irritant)
Conclusions:
Based on the results of a study according to OECD Test Guideline 404 under GLP, the test substance is considered as skin irritating (applying the evaluation system of the EU regulation 1272/2008).
Executive summary:

The skin irritation potential of the test substance was evaluated in a study according to OECD Test Guideline 404 under GLP.

The amount of 0.5 ml of the substance was applied unchanged under semi-occlusive conditions for 4 hours to the clipped skin of three Mol:Russian rabbits, which were observed for 21 days post application. Over the first three days, clear erythema and oedema were observed in all rabbits, which reversed fully within 21 days.

Interpreting these results by applying the evaluation system of the EU regulation 1272/2008, the test substance is considered irritating to the skin.
