Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

not irritating

Remarks:

Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU

Conclusions:

A very mild irritant response was seen in one rabbit: the substance is not classified according to CLP.

Executive summary:

An acute dermal irritation test was performed by Scantox, Denmark on behalf of Perstorp Polyols, Sweden (subcontracted through Toxicon, Sweden), to determine the skin irritant properties of the test substance CTF to rats. The study was conducted to GLP and according to OECD Test Guideline 404. The neat liquid test substance was applied to the skin of four female rabbits for a period of four hours. Observations of the irritant response were made shortly after the removal of the test substance, and 24, 48, and 72 hours after exposure. Very slight erythema was seen on one rabbit which persisted for the duration of the observation period (24 -72 hours); no signs of erythema or oedema were seen in any of the other three rabbits. It was concluded that CTF should not be classified as irritating to skin under the CLP Regulation.
