Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information not classified Criteria used for interpretation of results: other: CLP, Regulation No 1272/2008
Conclusions:
Based on a skin irritation study in rabbits, the test substance is not considered skin irritating. Although pink colouration was observed after 4 hours exposure to the test substance which persisted untill the end of the observation period, the substance needs no classification according to CLP.
Executive summary:

Erythema score 1 was noted in 1 animal at 1, 24 and 48 hours after 4 hours exposure to the test substance. In the second animal, erythema score 1 was only noted at 1 hour after 4 hours exposure to the test substance. No erythema was noted in the third animal. Oedema formation was not observed in any of the animals after 4 hours exposure to the test substance.

All animals showed pink colouration of the test substance through the study period.

After 1 hour exposure to the test substance, the animal showed erythema score 1 at 1 and 24 hours. No oedema formation was observed.

After 3 minutes exposure to the test substance, no erythema nor oedema formation was noted.
