Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Under conditions of the study, diammonium Persulfate revealed no skin irritating properties.
Executive summary:

Diammonium persulfate was applied in a single dose of 0.5 g diammonium persulfate to intact skin of albino rabbits. One hour after the end of the exposure period the three rabbits had slight erythema which disappeared at the time of the study observation time points after 24 and 48 hours. None of the animals reach an average erythema or edema score equal or above 2. The highest score (edema score) was 0.33 obtained in one of the three rabbits. Under the conditions of the study diammonium persulfate was not considered irritating to skin. Additionally, no systemic-toxic effects occured after treatment with the test material. All animals remained healthy throughout the study.
