Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The test substance has to be classified as "irritating to the skin".
Executive summary:

The skin irritation potential of the test substance was evaluated in a study according to OECD Test Guideline 404 under GLP.

The undiluted test substance was applied unchanged under occlusive conditions for 4 hours to the shaved skin of three Mol:Russian rabbits, which were observed for 21 days post application. Over the first three days, clear erythema and oedema were observed in all rabbits, which reversed fully within 21 days.

Interpreting these results by applying the evaluation system of the EU regulation 1272/2008, the test substance is considered to be irritating to the skin. Since the composition of the registered substance is almost identical to the test substance, only the amount of C12 and C14 epoxide is slightly higher in the registered substance, this key study is taken as a valid read across for this endpoint and the registered substance is considered to be irritating to the skin accordingly.
