Applicant's summary and conclusion

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

A BASF AG internal procedure for skin irritation was used as in following described: two animals were treated with a 40 % DMA solution for 3 min and 4 animals for 4 hours using occlusive conditions. An application site of 2 x 2 cm was covered with the liquid test substance. After the application the skin was washed with Lutrol (50%). The animals were observed for 8 days and skin changes were recorded daily. On days 1 to 8 the exposure sites were examined and scored for erythema and edema on a graded scale of 0 to 2 or 4 respectively. The test substance was corrosive to the skin of rabbits. The report describes findings after 24 hours and at the end of the observation period (8 days). The 3 min exposure caused in every animal severe erythema and slight edema. The 4 h exposure caused severe erythema and severe edema.
