Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The skin irritation potential of the substance in New Zealand White rabbits was investigated according to OECD Guideline 404 and EU Method B.4. Based on the test results and according to the criteria of the DSD and CLP Regulation, the substance should not be classified as irritating to the skin.
