Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
In a skin irritation and corrosion study, 2-methylpropane-2-thiol was found to be not irritating.
Executive summary:

In a skin irritiation and corrosion study (49 CFR 173.240), six albino rabbits (sex and strain unspecified) received 0.5mL of undiluted 2 -methylpropane-2-thiol (CAS # 75 -66 -1) applied to the intact skin site under standard gauze patches. The entire fur-clipped trunk of each animal was then covered with an impervious sleeve for a skin-contact period of 4 hours and then observed during 3 days. No signs of

irritation were discernible at any of the six treated skin sites. The substance was classified as not irritating based on EC Regulation No 1272.

This study received a Klimisch score of 2 and was classified as reliable with restrictions because the test procedure was in accordance with national standard methods with acceptable restrictions.
