Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The results of the study do not trigger classification for skin irritation according to the CLP Regulation.
Executive summary:

The skin irritation of Polyol TP30 (propylidynetrimethanol, ethoxylated) was investigated in a rabbit study (OECD 404). Application of 0.5 mL of the test material for four hours under semi-occlusive conditions to the shorn skin of three rabbits caused minimal transient irritation in one animal. The results of the study do not trigger classification for skin irritation according to the CLP Regulation.
