Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
In an in vivo skin irritation study, conducted according to OECD Test Guideline 404 and in compliance with GLP (Reliability 1), ATMP-xNa (aqueous solution containing 41% w/w active salt) was not irritating to the skin of rabbits following a 4-hour exposure.
