Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The study was conducted with a scientifically reasonable study design on the registered substance itself with some deficiencies in documentation. However, the given data indicate that the study was well performed. Hence, the results can be considered as sufficiently reliable to assess the irritating potential of the test item towards rabbits. The results indicate that the substance is not irritating to rabbit skin and no classification as skin irritant according to Regulation 1272/2008 is triggered.
Executive summary:

In a primary dermal irritation study, two New Zealand White rabbits (m/f) were dermally exposed to 500µl of the undiluted test item for 24h hours to the inner side of the ear.  Animals then were observed for 7 days.

Maximum score was observed at day 2 post observation (1). In this study, the test item is not a dermal irritant, no classification is needed.
