Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: non irritant according to the CLP Regulation (EC 1272/2008)
Conclusions:
In the experimental conditions described by OECD guideline 404 for the examination of acute dermal irritation / corrosion potential, test substance resulted as not irritant to the skin.
Executive summary:

Method

Examination of acute dermal irritation/corrosion in 3 rabbits according to OECD guideline 404, by semiocclusive application of test substance on shaved skin for 4 hours.

Results

No signs of irritation were noted except for one animal showing very slight erythema after 24 hours. However, it reversed within 48 hours. Consequently, test substance is considered as non irritant to the skin.
