Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: Not irritating according to EU criteria
Conclusions:
Under the conditions of this study, diphenyl carbonate is considered to be a non-irritant.  
Executive summary:

The skin irritation potential of the substance was investigated in a study which was conducted in accordance with the standardised guideline OECD 404 under GLP conditions.

During the study six (female) New Zealand White rabbits were dosed with 0.5 g of the test material in a semi-occlusive fashion for four hours. Observations were made at 30 to 60 minutes, 24, 48 and 72 hours after the end of the contact period. No erythema/oedema was observed for any animal at any time period.

Under the conditions of this study, diphenyl carbonate is considered to be a non-irritant.
