Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: OECD GHS
Conclusions:
Under the conditions of the present study, the single dermal application of the test item L-Cystine to three rabbits at a dose of 0.5 g showed neither irritant nor corrosive effects.
Executive summary:

Under the conditions of the present study, the single dermal application of the test item L-Cystine to three rabbits at a dose of 0.5 g showed neither irritant nor corrosive effects.

Neither mortalities nor significant clinical signs of toxicity were observed.

In conformity with the EC criteria for classification and labelling requirements for dangerous substances and preparations according to Annex VI of Commission Directive 2001/59/EC, the test item L-Cystine does not have to be classified and has no obligatory labelling requirement for skin irritation.

According to Annex I of Regulation (EC) 1272/2008, the test item L-Cystine does not have to be classified and has no obligatory labelling requirement for skin irritation.

According to GHS (Globally Harmonized Classification System), the test item L-Cystine has no obligatory labelling requirement for skin irritation.
