Additional information
Skin irritation:
Key study: Experimental results: A dermal irritation test (72 hours) using 3 rabbits has been performed on test substance LP 1848 (50 % water solution of Potassium acetate) in accordance with guideline OECD Guideline 404 (Acute Dermal Irritation / Corrosion).
Throughout the trial period there were no symptoms of skin irritation, so it is concluded that Potassium acetate is not irritating on the skin.
Eye irritation:
Key study: Experimental results: An eye irritation test (72 hours) using 3 rabbits has been performed on the test substance LP 1848 (50 % water solution of Potassium acetate) in accordance with guideline OECD Guideline 405 (Acute Eye Irritation / Corrosion). Potassium acetate is considered to be not irritating.
Justification for classification or non-classification
