Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: CLP/EU GHS criteria not met, no classification required according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008
Conclusions:
The test substance is considered to be not irritating to skin.
Executive summary:

Three rabbits were exposed to 3% and 20% test substance in water for 4 hrs under occlusive conditions. The exposed skin was then examined at 1, 24, 48, and 72 hrs after the end of the exposure. No signs of irritation were seen at any of the observations. Thus, under the test conditions used, the test substance was not irritant to the skin of rabbit.
