Irritant / corrosive response data:
The test article induced maximum irritant effects which were expected not to be reversible within 14 days. The animals were killed for animal protective reasons 24 hours after removing the bandage.
Other effects:
Moderate to severe losses of weight were detected in all animals at termination of the study 24 hours after removing the bandages.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 1C (corrosive) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
Based on the study results the substance is considered corrosive to skin.
Executive summary:

The test article induced maximum irritant effects which were expected not to be reversible within 14 days. The animals were killed for animal protective reasons 24 hours after removing the bandage. It has to be concluded that the test article has corrosive effects in albino rabbits. Moderate to severe losses of weight were detected in all animals at termination of the study 24 hours after removing the bandages.
