Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 1B (corrosive) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
Slight erythema was observed immediately upon patch removal after a 3-min exposure; necrosis/blanching was observed 3 days later. The test compound should be classified in Category 1B according to OECD-GHS.
Executive summary:

In a primary dermal irritation study (equivalent to OECD Guideline 404), following a preliminary test, New Zealand White rabbits (n = 3) were dermally exposed to 0.5 mL of the test material, LILAMIN LS 33 (undiluted material) for 3 min under occlusive conditions. Animals then were observed for 3 days.

The test material to the intact skin of three rabbits produced slight erythema immediately after patch removal. Necrotic lesions developed in all 3 animals after 3 days. Because a corrosive response was noted following up to 3 min exposure but not yet observed after 1 hour, the test compound should be classified in Category 1B according to OECD-GHS.
