Interpretation of results:
other: Not irritating
Remarks:
Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The average erythema score (24,48, and 72 hours) was 0.8. The average oedema score (24,48, and 72 hours) was 0.0.
Executive summary:

This study examined the skin irritancy of the test substance SBP 60/95 LNH. Groups of six rabbits had 0.5 mL of test substance applied to their dorsal skin. The test area was covered semi-occlusively, and exposure lasted 4 hrs. The test area was then washed.

Animals were scored at 30 min., 24 hrs, 48 hrs, 72 hrs, and 7 days after removal of the test substance. The average erythema score (24,48, and 72 hours) was 0.8. The average oedema score (24,48, and 72 hours) was 0.0.
