Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 1A (corrosive) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
Under the applied test conditions the test substance induced skin corrosion in all animals.
Executive summary:

A skin irritation/corrosion test was performed according to OECD 404 with six rabbits. The animals were exposed to 0.5 ml of test substance on the clipped skin under semiocclusive conditions for 3 minutes or 1 h. The skin reactions were observed for 72 h after the initial exposure. All six animals showed severe skin corrosion.
