Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
This compound produced slight temporary irrtation to the skin. Erythema score of 1were observed in 2 out of 6 rabbits at 48 and 72 hours.
Executive summary:

It is not skin irritant, based on this test, but the CLP harmonised classification found it as a Skin irritant category 2 (H315), so the recommendation is to classify it as a skin irritant Cat 2 (H335).
