Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 3 (mild irritant) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
EC 270-128-1 was found to be slightly irritant to skin, scores are below the threshold for classification and labelling as an irritant in the European Union which has not implemented GHS category 3 for skin irritation.
