Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The test substance was assessed for skin irritation in rabbits following a 4 hour exposure period. The results indicate that the test material was irritating to skin as the mean erythema score was 2.0 in all 4 animals which was equal to the threshold value of 2.0 under Regulation 67/548/EEC (DSD).
