Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
A single semi-occlusive application of HEAA to intact rabbit skin for four hours elicited no dermal irritation and HEAA is classified as a non-irritant.
Executive summary:

The study was performed to assess the skin irritation potential of HEAA to the rabbit, according to OECD Guideline 404, under GLP.


A single semi-occlusive application of HEAA to intact rabbit skin for four hours elicited no dermal irritation and HEAA is classified as a non-irritant.
