Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: not irritating
Conclusions:
Acute dermal irritation study was carried out to assess the irritation potential of N-(2-Hydroxyethyl)piperazine.
Primary Irritation score after 24 hours for N-(2-Hydroxyethyl)piperazine was Grade 1.
Based on this grade, N-(2-Hydroxyethyl)piperazine can be considered not irritating to rabbit skin.
Executive summary:

Acute dermal irritation study was carried out to assess the irritation potential of N-(2-Hydroxyethyl)piperazine.

Primary skin irritation on rabbits was recorded in a 10-grade ordinal series and was based upon the severest reaction that develops on the clipped abdominal skin of each of five albino rabbits within 24 hours of the uncovered application of 0.01 ml of undiluted sample or of solutions in water, propylene glycol, or acetone.

Grade 1 indicates no irritation and Grade 2 the least visible capillary injection from the undiluted chemical. Grade 6 indicates necrosis when undiluted and Grade 10 indicates necrosis from a 0.01% solution

Primary Irritation score after 24 hours for N-(2-Hydroxyethyl)piperazine was Grade 1.

Based on this grade,N-(2-Hydroxyethyl)piperazine can be considered not irritating to rabbit skin.
