Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The test material was regarded as not irritating according to the criteria of Annex VI to the Directive 67/548/EEC and CLP Regulation (EC) N° (1272-2008).
Executive summary:

In a primary dermal irritation GLP study performed according to OECD guideline 404, three young adult male White New-Zealand rabbits were dermally exposed to 0.5 g of ER 195 in 0.5 mL of distilled water for 4 hours to 6.25 cm² of clipped skin. Animals then were observed for 3 days. Irritation was scored by the method of Draize (1959).

There was no irritant effect at any observation time point. In this study, ER 195 is not a dermal irritant on male rabbits.

Under the test conditions, ER 195 is not classified as irritating to the skin according to the criteria of Annex VI to the Directive 67/548/EEC and CLP Regulation (EC) N° (1272-2008).
