Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
According to the directive of the EEC commission 98/98/EC of May 19th, 2000 Aluminiumtriformiat, Batch No. 46799/01, shall not be classified as skin irritating.
Executive summary:

The primary skin irritant effect of Aluminiumtriformiat was investigated according to the method recommended in the OECD Guideline No. 404, "Acute Dermal Irritation/Corrosion", 1992 and EEC Guideline B.4 "Acute Toxicity (Skin Irritation)", Jan. 1997.

Three female albino rabbits were exposed to the test article at two skin sites on the back. After 4 hours of exposure the test article was removed and the skin was examined 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after termination of exposure.

No skin reactions were observed at the rabbits.

Under the experimental conditions the mean score for erythema was 0.0 and for oedema 0.0.

According to the directive of the EEC commission 98/98/EC of May 19th, 2000 Aluminiumtriformiat, Batch No. 46799/01, shall not be classified as skin irritating.
