Description of key information

The skin irritation potential was investigated following the EU Method B.4 (Acute Toxicity: Dermal Irritation / Corrosion).
The eye irritation potential was investigated following the EU Method B.5 (Acute Toxicity: Eye Irritation / Corrosion).
Both studies were performed more than 12 years ago, under GLP conditions.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

Justification for selection of skin irritation / corrosion endpoint:
Only one study available

Justification for selection of eye irritation endpoint:
Only one study available

Justification for classification or non-classification

No significant signs of irritation are observed in eye and dermal irritation studies in rabbit.

The test substance does not required classification for irritation potential.
