Irritant / corrosive response data:
No skin irritating potential could be detected.
Other effects:
- Other adverse local effects: none
- Other adverse systemic effects: No signs of clinical toxicity were detected. All animals survived the observation period. Body weight development of the treated rabbits was inconspicuous.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The test item is considered to be not irritating to skin.
Executive summary:

The skin irritation potential of the test item was investigated according to OECD Guideline 404 under GLP conditions. An amount of 0.5 g of the test material was mixed with several drops of Aqua pro injectione to ensure good skin contact. The initial test with one animal and the confirmatory test with two further animals showed no signs of irritation at the treated areas following single application to the intact dorsal skin of rabbits for 4 hours under occlusive conditions. No signs of clinical toxicity were detected. All animals survived the observation period. Body weight development of the treated rabbits was inconspicuous. Under the conditions of the present study no signs of irritation were seen.
