* following test article application, instead of24, 48 and 72 hours after patch removal.

** very slight oedema and erythema observed after 14 days

a Desquamation present at day 14.

b Fissuring present at day 14

None of the animals died, 2 males and 2 females had diarrhea (M 2( 1), 1( 2), 2(3), 1(4), 2(5), 1(6 -8), 2(11 -14)) and F (2(11-12), 3(13-14)). One of these males had nasal discharge 1(6 -14) and soft stool 1(1). The animals had a decreased body weight at study termination.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 2 (irritant) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
CLP criteria 1 for classifying Catergory 2 is met:

(1) Mean value of ≥ 2,3 - ≤ 4,0 for erythema/ eschar or for oedema in at least 2 of 3 tested animals from gradings at 24, 48 and 72 hours after patch removal or, if reactions are delayed, from grades on 3 consecutive days after the onset of skin reactions; or
(2) Inflammation that persists to the end of the observation period normally 14 days in at least 2 animals, particularly taking into account alopecia (limited area), hyperkeratosis, hyperplasia, and scaling; or
(3) In some cases where there is pronounced variability of response among animals, with very definite positive effects related to chemical exposure in a single animal but less than the criteria above.
Executive summary:

CLP criteria 1 for classifying Catergory 2 is met
