Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
slightly irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
slightly irritating but insufficient for classification
Executive summary:

Sodium methallyl sulphonate, 500 mg humified, was applied to both abraded and intact skin on 6 young male New Zealand White rabbits on patches of 2.5 cm * 2.5 cm. After 24 hrs, the occlusive bandaging was removed, After 24 hrs. minimal to slight redness was observed in 2/6 animals, and minimal to slight edema in 3/6 animals. After 72 hrs no effects were visible. Substance need not be classified for irritative effects
