Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: other: Regulation EC no.1272/2008 (CLP)
Conclusions:
Under the present test conditions none of the three rabbits exposed for 4 hours to 500 mg ETU per patch and animal showed any substance-related lesions at the examination time-points 60 min and 24, 48 and 72 hours after patch removal. There were no systemic intolerance reactions.
ETU was non-irritating to skin, hence, no labelling is required.
Executive summary:

The aim of this examination was to examine ETU for acute skin irritation in rabbits (patch test). After the 4 -hour exposure period, the patch was removed and the skin sites of the three animals were evaluated.

Under the present test conditions none of the three rabbits exposed for 4 hours to 500 mg ETU per patch and animal showed any substance-related lesions at the examination time-points 60 min, and 24, 48 and 72 hours after patch removal. There were no systemic intolerance reactions.
