Irritant / corrosive response data:
All rabbits had erythema and edema that persisted through Day 7. The majority of edemas observed were very slight, scored with grade 1 in 5/6 animals. Well-defined erythemas were noted in all rabbits. 1 h after washing 3/6 animals revealed erythema of very mild degree (score 1). The remaining 3 animals showed erythema of grade 2. Ath the 24 h reading time point, 5/6 rabbits showed erythema of mild degree scored with grade 2. No skin reactions were noted latest on Day 10.
Other effects:
In individual cases sloughing of the skin of various thicknesses was observed at the 7 and 10 days reading time point.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: CLP/EU GHS criteria not met, no classification required according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008
Conclusions:
The study is in accordance with EPA guideline no. 81-5 and was conducted under GLP conditions. Although the study possesses deviations from the current OECD guideline no. 404 (skin irritation), such as missing information on age and weight of animals, environmental and general conditions of animals, and no data on untreated skin, it is considered valid and reliable. Under the conditions chosen the test substance did not induce skin irritation to rabbits. According to criteria of the CLP Regulation (EU) No. 1272/2008, no classification of the test item for skin irritation is required.
