Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The test material was not irritating to the rabbits' skin.
Executive summary:

A study according to OECD Guideline No. 404 was conducted to assess the irritating properties of the test substance when applied to rabbits’ skin. Three male New Zealand White rabbits were used. 0.5 mL of the undiluted test item were applied to clipped skin sites under semi-occlusive conditions. The first animal was exposed for 3 min, 1 hour and 4 hours and based on the skin findings the remaining two animals were exposed for 4 hours afterwards. After patch removal, the skin sites were examined after 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours. No signs of erythema/eschar or oedema formation was observed. Based on these results, the test material was considered to be non-irritating to skin.
