Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Under the conditions of the study, the substance was not irritating to skin.
Executive summary:

A study was conducted to determine the skin irritation potential of NPEO in rabbit according to OECD Guideline 404. 500 µl of undiluted test substance were applied by patch under semi-occlusive conditions to the shaved skin of 3 rabbits. The patch was removed after 4 h and the skin washed with water. Erythema, scarring and eodema were evaluated after 1, 24, 48, 72 h and 7 and 14 d according to the Draize scoring system. Other effects were also recorded. No effects observed in two animals. Grade 1 erythema was seen until and including the 48 h timepoint in one animal, but no longer observed at 72 h. The overall score for this animal was 0.7. Based on these findings, the substance was considered to be non-irritating to skin under the conditions of the study (Märtins T, 1988).
