Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Remarks:
/ consequently classification according to REGULATION (EC) No 1272/2008 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT not warrantable
Conclusions:

Erythema: 1.0 / 0.3 / 1.0
Edema: 0.0 / 0.0 / 0.3

not irritant
Executive summary:

The substance was tested for skin irritation according to OECD guideline 404. Three New Zealand White rabbits 0.5 g of the test material was placed on the shorn skin and fixed with a patch. After removal of the patches the skin was examined for irritation. Very slight erythema was noted but found to be reversible. Therefore, the substance does not fulfill the requiements for classification.
