- Humidity (%): 50% ± 10%
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12-hour light/12-hour dark cycle

Test system

Type of coverage:
semiocclusive
Preparation of test site:
clipped
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
yes, concurrent no treatment
Amount / concentration applied:
TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 0.5 mL aliquot
Duration of treatment / exposure:
Approximately 24 hours
Observation period:
24, 48 and 72 hours after application of the test substance

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
This study and the conclusions which are drawn from it fulfil the quality criteria (validity, reliability, repeatability).
Under the conditions of this study, the test substance is not a skin irritant.
Executive summary:

The test substance was evaluated for acute skin irritation potential in 1 female and 5 male rabbits. A 0.5 mL aliquot was applied to the clipped test site then covered with gauze and rubber sheeting. After 24 hours the test site was washed then scored according to the Draize scale. Erythema was observed in 5 of the 6 animals. Draize scores ranged from 0 to 2.3 across 24, 48, and 72 hours. No edema was observed throughout the study.
