Remarks on result:

not measured/tested

Irritant / corrosive response data:

no erythema was assessed due to skin discolouration

Other effects:

24 h after application of the test substance on 2 rabbits with scarified skin the application area was slightly hardened. 7 days after application, a slight sloughing of the scarified area was noted in 1 rabbit.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

other: CLP criteria not met

Conclusions:

The substance was tested for skin irritation potential. Under the experimental conditions no skin irration was osberved.

Executive summary:

Method

The substance was tested for skin irritation potential. Albino rabbits were tested on intact and scarified skin with patch test of the substance and observed at 24h, 72h and 7 days after applcation. Edema was scored while erythema was not possible due to skin discolouration. The value at 48h is missing and the worst case bewteen 24 and 72h was used for the calculation of the mean figure.

Results

Under the experimental conditions the substance is not considered a skin irritant.
