SCORING SYSTEM:
Corrosion was considered to have resulted if the test substance caused destruction or irreversible alteration of the tissue. Tissue destruction was considered to have occurred if, at any of the readings, there was ulceration or necrosis. Epidermal sloughing, erythema, edema or fissuring were not considered tissue destruction.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- corrosive
- Remarks:
- Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: other: DOT CFR 49 173.1200
- Conclusions:
- The test substance was considered to be corrosive according to the rules of the US Department of Transport. For the EU-classification severe deviations from the OECD-method occurred: Reading times different; no data on body weights; smaller area of applying the same volume; other definition of 'corrosive'; no description of the lesions; so that a conclusion for the EU-classifications system is not possible.
- Executive summary:
The test substance was applied to the intact skin of 6 rabbits. The duration of exposure was 4 hours. Occlusive dressings were used. Readings were made 4 and 48 hours after exposure.
Corrosion (destruction or irreversible alteration of the tissue) was noted in 1/6 animals after 4 hours and in 3/6 animals after 48 hours.
The test substance was considered to be corrosive according to the rules of the US Department of Transport.
