Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
moderately irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The test material p-Bromoanisol, produced a primary irritation index of 3.0 and was classified as a moderate irritatnt to rabbit skin according to the draize classification scheme. No corrosive effects were noted.
The test material produced positive criteria in 2/3 rabbits according to the EU labelling regulations and was classified as IRRITANT to rabbit skin. The symbole "Xi" and risk phrase R 38 "IRRITATING TO SKIN" are therefore required.
