Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The test item showed no irritant effects on the intact skin after a contact time of 4 hours.
Executive summary:

The test material was assessed for skin irritation properties according to EU Method B.4/OECD Guideline 404. The test material was applied to the intact skin of New Zealand White rabbits in a single, 4 -hour, semi-occluded application of the test material to the intact skin of three female animals. The test material produced edema scores of 0.0 after 24, 48 and 72 h and erythema scores of 0.0 after 24, 48 and 72 h in all animals and was classified as non-irritatant to the rabbit skin. No corrosive effects were noted.
