Any other information on results incl. tables

Up to 24 hours the treated skin areas are within the physiological norm. From day 2 of the post-observation period a strong erythema developed. From day 6 a strong erythema and a moderate edema was found.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 1C (corrosive) based on GHS criteria
Remarks:
Based on EU GHS criteria
