Interpretation of results:
other: Not irritating
Remarks:
Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Under the test conditions, MRD-90-903 is not classified as skin irritant according to the criteria of Annex VI of the Directive 67/548/EEC and the CLP Regulation 1272/2008.
Executive summary:

This data is being read across from the source study that tested Hydrocarbons, C16-C20, n-alkanes, isoalkanes, cyclics, < 2% aromatics based on analogue read across.

In a primary dermal irritation study conducted as similar to OECD guideline N°404 in compliance with GLP, six young adult female New Zealand White rabbits were dermally exposed to 0.5 mL of MRD-90-903. Test sites were covered with a semi-occlusive dressing for 4 hours. The skin reactions were assessed at 45 minutes, 24, 48 and 72 hours after removal of the dressing. The mean score was calculated across 3 scoring times for all animals at 24, 48 and 72 hours after patch removal.

The mean scores over 24, 48 and 72 hours were 0.0 for erythema and for oedema.

Based upon the directive 67 /548/EEC and the CLP Regulation 1272/2008, MRD-90-903 is not considered as irritating to the rabbit skin.
