Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The result is a read accross from sodium citrate (CAS 68-04-2) from a reliable study conducted in accordance with OECD 404 and GLP. The test material was found to be transiently mildly irritating to the skin of rabbits. The report describes the material as non irritant according to EC criteria; current EC criteria would concur with this finding.
