Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Diethyl succinate was found not to be a skin irritant on in-vivo testing
Executive summary:

Skin irritaion has been assessed in-vivo following OECD/EU test methods. Diethyl succinate elicited no response following exposure and is regarded as being non-irritant to the skin.
