Irritant / corrosive response data:
No systemic-toxic effects occurred after treatment with the test material. All animals remained healthy throughout the study.
Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Under conditions of the study, diammonium persulfate revealed no skin irritating properties.
Executive summary:

Diammonium persulfate was applied in a single dose of 0.5 g diammonium persulfate to intact skin of albino rabbits. One hour after the end of the exposure period the three rabbits had slight erythema which disappeared at the time of the study observation time points after 24 and 48 hours. None of the animals reach an average of erythema or oedema score of equal or above 2. The highest score (oedema score) was 0.33 obtained in one of the three rabbits. Under the conditions of the study diammonium persulfate was not considered irritating to skin. Additionally no systemic-toxic effects occur after treatment with the test material. All animals remained healthy throughout the study.

Remarks on result:

Irritant / corrosive response data:
The result of local irritation testing on the scarified rabbit skin after single application showed corrosion to the skin. This result was upraised due to the severe and prolonged changes on the scarified dermis after contact with the test substance.

Any other information on results incl. tables

Erythema was present one hour after removal of the occlusive bandage from the scarified epidermis and was evaluated with the rating 3 and 4 (moderate and severe erythema, eschar formation with profound damage). The irritations persisted with same intensity over the 14 day observation period. The first day after application of the test material, eschar formation occurred, and loss of substance became visible at the location of application, which showed circular cavities with a depth of 1 to 2 mm. The eschar sloughed during the second observation week. The reparation process started with scar formation without reaching the level of the health skin area completely.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 2 (irritant) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
Under the conditions of the study diammonium persulfate caused severe erythema which was not fully reversible within the 14 days. Thus, the test item was considered irritating to the skin.
Executive summary:

Diammonium persulfate was tested for skin irritation on three rabbits. Diammonium persulfate showed formation of severe non-reversible erythema and slight oedema. Based on these results diammonium persulfate was considered irritating to the skin.
