Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The test item is not a skin irritant.
Executive summary:

The potential irritant and/or corrosive effects of NHAU were evaluated on the skin of New Zealand White rabbits. Each of three rabbits received a 0.5 ml dose of the test article as a single dermal application. The dose was held in contact with the skin under a semi­occlusive binder for an exposure period of four heurs. Following the exposure period, the binder was removed. Test sites were subsequently examined and scored for dermal irritation at 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours following patch removal.
Exposure to the test article produced no erythema or edema in any rabbits. 


Under the condition of the test, the test item,  N-heptylamino-11- undécanoïc acid is considered as non-irritant
