The application of the test substance caused slight erythema after a 1 and 5 min exposure and moderate to severe erythema after a 15 min or 20 h exposure. After 15 min of exposure one animal developed necrosis 72 post exposure. 20 h of exposure led to anaemic necrosis which developed in 1 animal to hart necrosis at the end of the observation period. The appearing necrosis is considered as a full thickness necrosis.

The original BASF grading was converted into the numerical grading according the OECD Draize system.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 1B (corrosive) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
Corrosive
Executive summary:

The application of the test substance caused slight erythema after a 1 and 5 min exposure and moderate to severe erythema after a 15 min or 20 h exposure. After 15 min of exposure one animal developed necrosis 72 h post exposure. 20 h of exposure led to anaemic necrosis which developed in 1 animal to hart necrosis at the end of the observation period.
