Materials and methods

Principles of method if other than guideline:
Two animals were treated for 1, 5, 15 min or 20 h using occlusive conditions. An application site of 2.5 x 2.5 cm was covered with the liquid test substance. The animals were observed for 8 days and skin changes were recorded daily. For a final evaluation, the findings from 24 and 48 hours from the raw data were taken into account.
GLP compliance:
no

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
After exposure times of 1, 5, 15 min and 20 h the test material caused slight to moderate reddening of the dorsal rabbit skin extending beyond the area of exposure. After 20 h of exposure 1 animal showed slight edema after 48 h. At the end of the observation period of 8 days the animals showed at all exposure times scale formation which was extending beyond the area of exposure in the 20 h application. According to the criteria laid down in the Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008, the substance does not need to be classified and labeled as skin irritating.
