Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The test item is not irritating to skin when tested under the conditions of the OECD 404 guideline study.
Executive summary:

The primary skin irritation potential of the test item was investigated according to OECD test guideline no 404.The test item (0.5 mL) was applied to the intact skin of three New Zealand White rabbits under semi-occlusive conditions for four hours. The scoring of skin reactions was performed 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after removal of the test item. No erythema or edema were observed at any time point (score 0).There was no indication of systemic toxicity.
