Irritant / corrosive response data:

In summary, BI 1356 BS/CD 605 XX had no irritating or corrosive effect on rabbit skin subsequent to dermal application.

Other effects:

no

Any other information on results incl. tables

The exact amount of the paste (test item mixed with demineralized water) applied to the single skin sites of the individual rabbits is shown in Table 1:

Table 1: Acute dermal irritation/corrosion study in rabbits – Amount of paste applied to individual skin sites

Animal number	Skin area	Amount of test item applied as paste (mg)
151	1	579
	2	539
	3	563
251	3	587
252	3	586

The exact amount of the paste (item mixed with demineralized water) applied to the single skin sites of the individual rabbits, was close to the expected 0.5 g per site.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

No macroscopic signs of irritation or corrosion and no signs of systemic side effects or of skin alterations beyond the area of exposure were observed. Thus, the test item is not classified.
