Executive summary:

Summary

Study design

The study was performed according to the OECD Guideline for Testing of Chemicals, No. 404, the annex to Directive 92/69 EEC, and the recommendations of DRAIZE (1959).
To test for primary skin irritation, 0.5 g of the test material was mixed with some drops of Aqua pro injectione to ensure good contact with the skin. Afterwards the test material was spread onto 6 cm2patches and applied to the intact skin of previously shaven rabbits for a 4 hours period under semiocclusive conditions. The study was started as an initial test with one animal and followed by the confirmatory test with two further animals. The first examination of the treated skin sites followed 1 hour after removal of the patches. Thereafter, examinations were performed daily for further 7 days.

Results

Under the conditions of the present study no signs of irritation were seen.
