Executive summary:

The primary dermal irritation potential of the test article was determined in New Zealand White rabbits. The study was conducted in compliance with OECD GLP (1997) regulations. The test method was based on OECD 404 (1992). The test article (0.5 mL) was administered unchanged to clipped skin on a 2.5 x 2.5 cm cellulose patch on a piece of surgical plaster on the dorsal region of each rabbit. The plaster was fixed to the prepared skin area and then covered with a semi-occlusive bandage. The test article was left on the skin for a 4 hour exposure. After the exposure period, all remnants of the test article were carefully removed from the skin by washing with warm tap water. Examinations of the skin took place after 30 -60 minutes as well as 24, 48, and 72 hours after patch removal. Erythema, eschar formation and edema were evaluated and scored according to the Draize scale. No signs of irritation were observed during the study. All erythema and edema scores were 0 at 24, 48 and 72 hours in all animals. Based on the results of the study, the test article is not irritating to skin.
