Irritant / corrosive response data:
Necrosis is observed in all animals exposed for 3 min. At 72h after exposure, full thickness necrosis is confirmed by gross pathology examination.
The mean scores for edema after 3 min exposure are resp 1.0; 0.3; 0.3.

Necrosis is observed in all animals exposed for 1 hour. At 1 and 72h edema was extended beyond the area of exposure in one animal. At 24 and 48h edema was extended in two animals. At 72h after exposure, full thickness necrosis is confirmed by gross pathology examination.
The mean scores for edema after 1h exposure are resp 2.0; 0.7; 1.0

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 1A (corrosive) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
In an in vivo acute dermal irritation test performed similar to OECD 404, rabbits are exposed to the test substance during resp 3 min and 1h. On the basis of the observations and the lack of reversibility of effects, the substance is considered to be Corrosive Cat 1A according to the CLP Regulation No 1272/2008.
