Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Following 4-hour occlusive treatment with 0.5 mL undiluted test item to the intact skins of three rabbits no signs of irritation were oberved. Neither erythema nor edema could be detected during the observation period. Thus, 1,2,6-Hexantriol is considered to be non-irritant in this test system, and according to Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 the data are conclusive but not sufficient for classification.
