Irritant / corrosive response data:
The single application of 0.5 ml of the test item to the shorn skin on the backs of each of the rabbits did not show signs of irritation after the 24-hour exposure period.
Other effects:
All of the rabbits were clinically normal. The body weight did not differ from that of rabbits of the same age that were not treated. All of the animals survived the 7-day observation period.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The test item was found to be not irritant to the skin.
Executive summary:

In this (OECD 404) study conducted to generally accepted scientific standards, the test material (EC 231 -272 -0) was induced mean erythema scores of 0.25 in 1 of the 4 test animals (rabbit, intact skin) across the 24 and 48 hour observation periods. In addition a mean erythema score of 0.25 was observed for one test animal with scarified skin at the 48 hour observation period. All applications occured under occlusive conditions and were fully reversible within 3 days. The result of the test is not sufficient to meet the criteria for classification as a skin irritant under the criteria of the EU Classification, Labelling, and Packaging (CLP) regulation (1272/2008).
