Irritant / corrosive response data:

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Under the study conditions, the test substance was non-irritating to rabbit skin.
Executive summary:

A study was conducted to determine the skin irritation potential of the test substance in rabbits according to a method similar to OECD Guideline 404. The test substance was applied to the shaved skin of 3 female rabbits under a semi-occlusive patch for 4 h. Upon patch removal, the exposed skin was observed for signs of skin irritation at 30 -60 min, 24, 48 and 72 h. The only sign of irritation was a slight transient erythema observed in all three rabbits 30 -60 min after patch removal. Under the study conditions, the test substance was non-irritating to rabbit skin (Zeneca, 1994).
