The cutaneous reactions were not reversible in both animals within 14 days after removal of the patch. On study day 14, moderate erythema (grade 3) and very slight edema (grade 1) beyond the application site and scaling was noted while the other animal showed very slight erythema (grade1) and scaling at study termination.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 2 (irritant) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
Considering the not fully reversible cutaneous reactions within the observation period as well as the average score for irritation, Heptadecyl Acrylate (C17A) shows a skin irritating potential under the test conditions chosen.
