Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 2 (irritant) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
Patch test was done in 24 human subjects. Test chemical at full strength for 24 hr produced one irritation reaction in 24 human subjects. Since the test chemical was irritant, it was considered as irritating to human skin.


Executive summary:

In a patch test,24 human subject were involved. Test chemical at full strength for 24 hr produced one irritation reaction in 24 human subjects. Since the test chemical was irritant, it was considered as irritating to human skin.
