Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 2 (irritant) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
The substance is irritating to the skin
Executive summary:

Six male rabbits were dermally exposed to the substance for 24 hours under occlusion. Erythema could not be scored due to staining of the skin. Based on the oedema scores the substance is considered to be irritating to the skin.
