Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Executive summary:

In a skin irritation study according to OECD TG 404, 3 hours before starting the experiment, 3 rabbits were depilated in the dorsal area of the torso. Only animals having an intakt skin were used. The test substance (made into a paste with polyethylene glycol) was applied to the skin using a patch. The patch was removed after 4 hours and the skin was washed with lukewarm water.

30 to 60 minutes up to 7 days after patch removal the treated skin of the animals showed marginal observable up to moderate erythema and marginal observable up to slight edema. Swelling was observed and the skin was colored on a small up to large surface, dry, rough, sclerotic and parchmenty. 14 days p.a. no erythema or edema were observed anymore. The skin surface was dry-rough. in 2 rabbits a swelling of skin with and a reddish- bluish colour was abserved. After 22 days all signs were reversible.

According to CLP classification criteria (Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008) a classification is not justified.
