Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Not irritant to the rabbit skin.
Executive summary:

Method:


Skin irritation potential of the substance was assessed according to OECD guideline 404. Test substance was applied to the skin of 3 rabbits, under semiocclusive coverage for 4 h. Signs of irritation in terms of erythema and oedema were recorded.


Results:


No signs of oedema were noted; slight signs of erythema were seen in 1/3 rabbits, which were reversible within 48 hours.
