Irritant / corrosive response data:
- see table 1
Other effects:
- in all animals: erythema, oedema, erosions, pachydermatosis and necrosis
- At the application site eschar formation and desquamation of the epidermis were observed from the 5th day after compound application; thereafter scar was formed. Full recovery with fur covering scar area was observed between day 25 and 29.
There were no significant difference between unabraded and abraded skin reaction.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 1B (corrosive) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
Under the conditions of this skin irritation study an average edema score of 0.33 and an average erythema score of 3.25 were deduced (average of all animals, time points: 1, 24, 48 h). No deaths occurred during the study period and no signs of toxicity were reported. Based on the results it can be concluded that the test substance has corrosive effects on the skin of rabbits.
