Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
During the whole test period no irritations for beta-naphthol on New Zealand rabbits were observed. Therefore, 2-Naphthol is classified as not irritating to the skin.
Executive summary:

In a study according to OECD Test No. 404 Acute dermal Irritation/corrosion the skin irritation potential of 2-naphthol was evaluated in New Zealand White rabbits. Application of 500 mg was made onto the intact and shaved skin. There was no skin reaction observed within 72 hours. Therefore, the test item is classified as not irritating to the skin.
