Executive summary:

The primary skin irritation potential of the test article was evaluated in New Zealand albino rabbits. This study was performed in accordance with OECD GLP (1999). The study design was based on OECD 404 (1992) and Directive 92/69/EEC guideline B.4 (1992). The hair was clipped from the dorsal skin of three rabbits exposing an area of approximately 25 square centimeters. The test material (0.5 mL) was applied over the surface of a 2.5 x 2.5 cm cellulose patch on a piece of surgical plaster. The plaster was affixed to the prepared area on the intact rabbit skin and covered with a semi-occlusive bandage. At the end of the 4-hour exposure all wrappings were removed and the skin was cleaned of residual test substance using tap water. Observations for skin irritation (erythema and edema) were recorded at approximately 30-60 minutes and 24, 48 and 72 hours after unwrapping. There were no abnormal clinical signs, erythema or edema throughout the study. Based on the results of this study, the test article is not a dermal irritant.
