Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The test item was found to be non-irritant to rabbit skin. Based on these results, the test item does not have to be classified and has no obligatory labelling requirement for skin irritation according to the European CLP-Regulations (GHS).
Executive summary:

The test item was tested for skin irritation on rabbits according to OECD-Guideline No. 404, EU-Testing Method B.4 and in conformity with GLP-principles. The study was performed from November 29 - December 2, 1990.

The test item was found to be non-irritant to rabbit skin. Based on these results, the test item does not have to be classified and has no obligatory labelling requirement for eye irritation according to the European CLP-Regulations (GHS).
