Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- not irritating
- Remarks:
- Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
- Conclusions:
- Under the conditions of the present study, the single dermal application of the test item ALUFLUX or Aluminium dross or gray Aluminium dross to rabbits at a dose of 0.5 g showed slightly irritant effects, which were fully reversible within 48 hours.
Neither mortalities nor significant clinical signs of toxicity were observed.
In conformity with the EC criteria for classification and labelling requirements for dangerous substances and preparations according to Annex VI of Commission Directive 2001/59/EC [6] and Annex I of Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 [7], the test item ALUFLUX or Aluminium dross or gray Aluminium dross does not have to be classified and has no obligatory labelling requirement for skin irritation. - Executive summary:
