After 8 days, the erythema and edema score of both animals were 4 and 2 respectively, necrosis was observed in both animals.

A parasitic infestation of the liver was observed in both animals, which was of no relevance for this study.

nd: not determined

Leather-like or hard necroses represent so-called full-thickness necroses involving all layers of the skin. Such necroses are relevant for classification representing a chemical being corrosive to the skin.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 1B (corrosive) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
Necrosis was observed in both animals after an exposure period of 1 hour.
