Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
study cannot be used for classification
Conclusions:
The TS was classified as severely skin irritating (24-hr exposure instead of 4-hr in the guideline).
Executive summary:

In this older study (Draize test), 6 New Zealand Albino rabbits were dosed with 0.5 mL of undiluted TS over 24 hrs to intact or abraded skin. The irritation score (24, 72 hrs average) was given with 6.5 and the effects were fully reversible within 168 hrs. The TS was in fine not classified as skin irritating in 4h.
