Irritant / corrosive response data:

The test substance was found to be irritating based on erythema. The test substance was found to be not irritating based on edema.

Other effects:

No clinical signs of systemic toxicity were observed during the study and no mortality occurred. No staining produced by the test item was observed. Neither alterations of the treated skin were observed nor were corrosive effects evident. Body weights of all rabbits were considered to be within the normal range of variability.

Scaling was observed in all three test animals on days 7 and 10; scaling was observed in test animal numbers 91 and 93 at day 14.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

Category 2 (irritant) based on GHS criteria

Conclusions:

The test substance was found to be irritating based on erythema, but not irritating based on edema. Based upon the referred classification criteria (Commission Directive 2001/59/EC of August 2001), T263 is considered to be "irritating" to rabbit skin.
The test substance is found to be category 2 'irritating' based on the persistance of scaling in 2 out of 3 animals up to the end of the 14 days observation period.
