Basis:
mean
Remarks:
of 3 animals
Time point:
other: mean over 24, 48 and 72 hours
Score:
0.67
Max. score:
4
Reversibility:
fully reversible within: 72 hours
Remarks on result:
other: No scoring was performed after 48 h, therefore, the same irritation scores as after 24 hours were assumed
Irritation parameter:

Score:
0
Max. score:
4
Reversibility:
other: not applicable
Remarks on result:
other: No scoring was performed after 48 h, therefore, the same irritation scores as after 24 hours were assumed
Irritant / corrosive response data:
Slight erythema formation (grade 1) was recorded in all animals 24 h after start of exposure. These effects were fully reversible in all animals within 72 hours. No edema formation was detected in any animal.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 2 (irritant) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
Under the experimental conditions performed equivalent or similar to OECD TG 404 the test material appeared to be not irritating to skin when applied as 18.2% (10% a.i.) formulation.

SCL (worst case assumption due to lack of data for neat substance):
Not irritating ≤10% (a.i.)
Skin Irrit. Cat. 2 >10% (a.i.)
