Irritant / corrosive response data:
Results are not reported in detail, however the report states that the test material is not irritating to skin.
Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Remarks:
Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Although the irritation scores are not reported, it is concluded that the test material is not a skin irritant.
Executive summary:

500 mg of the test material was applied under semi-occlusive conditions to the interior surface of the ears of two New Zealand White rabbits. Residual test material was removed after 24 hours by washing with soap and water; animals were obsereved for 7 days. Scores for irritation are not reported, however it is stated in the report that the test material was not a skin irritant under the conditions of the study. The study protocol is not standard, however it can be concluded that the substance is not a skin irritant.
