Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 2 (irritant) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
In this in vivo study on rabbits, the results indicate that the test item is a Skin Irritant (UN GHS: Category 2).
Executive summary:

This dermal irritation study was performed according to the method described in the FHSA (Federal Hazardous Substance Act). Six New Zealand Albino rabbits were dermally exposed to 0.5 mL of the test substance of unknown purity for 24 hours. The test substance was applied to shaved intact and abraded skin using occlusive coverage. Animals were observed for up to 7 days following exposure. The skin was scored at 24, 48, 72 and 168 hours after application. Mean Draize scores (mean of all animals, mean of 24 - 72 hour readings) for the intact skin were 2.7 for erythema (three animals with a score of 3.0, 1 animal with a score of 2.7 and 2 animals with a score of 2.3) and 1.7 (four animals with a score of 2.0, one animal with 1.3 and one with 1.0) for oedema. No irritation was found after 7 days (168 hours) and no injury in depth was found.
