Any other information on results incl. tables

Test substance showed no irritation, when applied to intact rabbit skin. No destruction or irreversible alterations of the treated skin were observed.

In the area of application a marked to slight orange discolouration of the skin was observed in all rabbits within 1 to 72 hours after removal of the bandage.

No acute toxicological signs were observed in the animals durin g the test period.

All rabbits were killed at the end of the observation period. Due to the results obtained, no macroscopical organ examination was indicated.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: not classified according to the CLP Regulation (EC 1272/2008)
Conclusions:
Under the conditions of the experiment the test material was found to cause no irritation when applied to intact rabbit skin.
Executive summary:

Method

The substance was tested for skin irritation according to the OECD guideline 404. The dorsal area of 3 rabbits was clipped and test substance was applied under occlusive patch for 4 hours. Reactions were scored 1 hour, 24, 48 and 72 hours after removal according to the Draize score.

Results

Under test conditions, the substance was found to cause no irritation when applied to intact rabbit skin. In the area of application a marked to slight orange discoloration of the skin was observed in all rabbits within 1 to 72 hours after removal of the bandage. No corrosion effect had occurred on the skin.
