Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 2 (irritant)
Conclusions:
Under the conditions of this study, EC 701-204-9 is classified as a Category 2 skin irritant in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
Executive summary:

The primary irritation score for the test material in this study was 3.1

The test material caused light to moderate erythema with no to moderate edema at all sites one hour after unwrapping. All sites showed well defined to severe erythema with no to moderate edema 24 hours after dosing, decreasing slightly by the 72 hour scoring. Seven days after dosing, almost all sites had slight to well defined erythema with flaky, discolored, or slightly hardened skin. By the 14 day reading, slight erythema was observed at the two sites. Flaky or thickened skin was seen at almost all sites.

Histopathological examination of the skin sections taken at sacrifice showed trace to mild hyperkertosis, epidermal crusting, and dermal inflammation at almost all sites; trace to mild acanthosis was seen at two sites.
