Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
With reference the reported scores and the reported trend to decreasing severity of effects within 72 h Hostanox O 3 does not have to be classified as irritant to the skin according to the criteria laid down in the EU Classification Labelling and Packaging Regulation (1272/2008/EC).
Executive summary:

Hostanox O 3 was tested for its skin irritant properties in 6 Himalayan rabbits. The study was performed according to OECD Guideline 404. Deviations were the absence of the recovery period of 14 days and a prolonged exposure period (24 hours). These conditions make the study design more rigid compared to the regarding OECD Guideline.

With reference the reported scores and the reported trend to decreasing severity of effects within 72 h Hostanox O 3 does not have to be classified as irritant to the skin according to the criteria laid down in the EU Classification Labelling and Packaging Regulation (1272/2008/EC).
