Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 1C (corrosive) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
No skin irritation/corrosion study with the target substance is available. Data generated with the category substance LABS is considered pivotal to this endpoint and this is the most conservative approach. LABS is classified as category 1C according to CLP regulation (corrosive to skin) and therefore the target substance will also be classified as category 1C. .
