Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
the test item revealed no skin irritating properties
Executive summary:

The single dermal administration of the test substance (ZK 12126) to male and female rats at a dose of 2000 mg/kg was tolerated without any mortality or compound-related clinical or macroscopic pathological signs. Moreover, no local intolerance reactions at the application sites were observed. The mean values of findings relevant for dermal classification (reddening, scab formation and swelling of the skin) at the time-points immediately after removal of the bandage and the substance, 24, 48 and 72 h after the end of administration were 0.
