Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Remarks:
Note: harmonized classification as Skin Irr 2
Conclusions:
Under the conditions of the experiment, a 2.5% aqueous suspension of 1-naphthol was considered not to be irritant to rabbit skin.
Executive summary:

The skin irritation potential of 1-naphthol was evaluated in New Zealand White rabbits. Application of a 2.5% solution in aqueous gum tragacanth was made to the intact and abraded skin. The period of application was not stated. There was no reaction observed at 24 hours or 72 hours later.
