Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Based on the results of the in vivo dermal irritation stduy in rabbits the test substance is not skin irritating.
Executive summary:

Three female New Zealand White rabbits were tested for skin irritation with 0.5 g of the test substance moistened with 0.5. mL tylose after an exposure period of 4h. No severe signs of irritation occurred during the whole observation period. No clinical signs of systemic toxicity were observed. In conclusion, testing for primary dermal irritation in the rabbit showed that the test substance is not irritating.
