Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 1C (corrosive) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
The skin irritation potential of the test substance was determined in a study equivalent to OECD guideline 404. The test item showed corrosive effects.
Executive summary:

The skin irritation potential of the test item was determined in a study equivalent to OECD guideline 404. The test substance was applied undiluted in an amount of 0.5 mL. Six rabbits are treated on the intact skin, the other six on the abraded skin. The patches are fixed to the application site by means of adhesive tape and the entire trunk of the rabbits is wrapped with an impervious material to maintain the test patches in position and to retard evaporation of volatile substances. After an exposure period of 24 hours the patches were removed. The resulting skin reaction were read immediately after 24 hours and after 72 hours. The following scores are indicated as overall mean irritation scores after 72 hours. No subdivision was done for the scores after 72 hours:

Intact skin

Animal 1: 3

Animal 2: 3

Animal 3: 3

Animal 4: 3

Animal 5: 3

Animal 6: 4

Abraded skin

Animal 1: 3

Animal 2: 3

Animal 3: 4

Animal 4: 4

Animal 5: 4

Animal 6: 3

The test item showed skin corrosive effects. The effects were not reversibel after 72 h. After 24 hours, ischemia and slight to severe edema; after 72 hours, distinct or severe incrustation were observed.
