Any other information on results incl. tables

No changes were seen were the test article was applied for 3 minutes or 1 hour.

At the sites exposed for 4 hours erythema grade 1 was detected in all rabbits at the reading carried out 24 h from the end of exposure period.Erythema grade 1 was concomitantly observed in a single rabbit.

At the 48 hours reading very slight erythema still persistent in a single animal.

No dermal effects observed at the last reading (72 hours).

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The test article when administered to rabbits by dermal route, is to be considered NON IRRITANT for the skin.
