Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Under the present test conditions, none of the three rabbits exposed for 4 hours to 500 mg IPDI homopolymer per patch and animal
(semi-occlusive condition) showed any test item-related changes at the examination time-points 60 minutes, 24, 48 and 72 hours after patch
removal.
Executive summary:

The acute skin irritation properties of IPDI homopolymer were estimated according to OECD Guideline 404. A dose of 500 mg test item per animal was applied to the shaved, intact dorsal skin of 3 male rabbits under semi-occlusive conditions. After the 4 -hour exposure period the patch was removed and the resulting reactions were examined. The average scores at 60 min, 24, 48 and 72 hours after patch removal are as follows: erythema/eschar: 0, edema: 0. Therefore, IPDI homopolymer is not irritating to skin.
