Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
DiTMP was found ot be non-irritating to skin, under the conditions of this study and does not require classfication as a skin irritant according to the CLP Regulation.
Executive summary:

An acute skin irritation study was performed to determine the potential for skin irritation of Di-TMP. The study was conducted to GLP and according to OECD 404 and EC B4 Test Guidelines. No signs of irritation were observed following exposure to the test substance. Di-TMP is not classified as irritating according to CLP.
