Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
slightly irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information not classified Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Based on the results of this study on the analogous substance, Renewable Diesel is expected to be slightly irritating to skin by on significant enough to warrant classification within the EU.
