ACUTE DERMAL IRRITATION IN THE RABBIT/ FeMn slag (Ferro-manganese slag)/ OECD 404 / GLP

Introduction. The study was performed to assess the irritancy potential of the test material to the skin of the New Zealand White rabbit. The method was designed to meet the requirements of the following:

• OECD Guidelines for the Testing of Chemicals No. 404 “Acute Dermal Irritation/Corrosion” (adopted 24 April 2002)
• Method 84 Acute Toxicity (Skin Irritation) of Commission Regulation (EC) No. 440/2008

Conclusion. The test material produced a primary irritation index of 0.0 and was classified as non-irritant to rabbit skin according to the Draize classification scheme. No corrosive effects were noted.
