Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 1B (corrosive) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
A 1-hour occlusive treatment with the unchanged test substanced caused skin corrosion in rabbits.
Executive summary:

In this short-term test (non-GLP, reliability 2), the undiluted test substance was applied 3 min and 1 h to the intact rabbit skin (3 males, Vienna White) under an occlusive dressing. After exposure, the substance was washed with with Lutrol (concentrated) and Lutrol/water (1:1). Scoring according to Draize was carried out after patch removal and after 24, 48 and 72 h. An exposure duration of 3 min caused erythema of max. grade 2 (not fully reversible) and edema of grade 1 in one animal (fully reversible within 48 h). Extension of the exposure time provoked severe skin reactions. After 1 h of treatment, comprehensive erythema and edema, as well as necrosis was observed in all animals from 24 h after application of the test substance onwards. A full-thickness necrosis in all animals was macroscopic-pathologically confirmed at the end of the study.

Based on this study finding, the test substance is corossive (Cat. 1B) to the skin.
