Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Under the present conditions, occlusive application of the test item for 4 hours to intact and abraded rabbit skin revealed moderate irritating effects (moderate erythrema and slight edema) only in one out of three animals. The other two animals showed no reaction or exhibited a slightly irritating effect, respectively. However, these effects were fully reversible after maximum 6 days. Therefore the test item is not classified according to GHS citeria.
