Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
no guideline followed
Principles of method if other than guideline:
The Draize test was used to assess primary skin irritation. Six rabbits were used. The back of each rabbit was clipped free of hair 24 h before application of the mixture. Four sites, two intact and two abraded, were established. The material was applied at each location. The test sites were covered with a gauze pad and the entire back was overlaid with an adhesive plastic surgical drape. Each rabbit was then placed in a rabbit jacket. The jackets and wraps were removed 24 h later, and each test site was scored visually for erythema and edema. Readings were recorded at 24, 48, and 72 h. A final irritation score was calculated for the 24- and 72-h readings.
GLP compliance:
no

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
None of the 6 rabbits exhibited edema or erythema in 24 h; therefore, all animals were judged normal. The total primary irritation score was 0.00.
