Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:

No studies are available and none are required. Occupational exposure to Cr (VI) compounds will be primarily by inhalation and dermal routes, therefore testing using additional routes of expousre is scientifically unjustified. Furthermore, additional testing with this group of corrosive compounds cannot be justified on animal welfare grounds.
