Other effects:
Four hours exposure to 0.5 mL of the test item resulted in very slight or well-defined erythema and very slight or well-defined oedema in the treated skin areas of the three rabbits. The skin irritation had resolved within 48 hours after exposure in two animals and within 72 hours in the other animal.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Very slight or well-defined erythema and very slight or well-defined oedema was observed. The skin irritation had resolved within 72 hours.
Executive summary:

The test substance was evaluated for acute skin irritation potential in 3 New Zealand White rabbits. The test sites were covered with a semi-occlusive dressing to ensure contact between the skin and test substance. The animals were exposed to the test substance for 4 hours. The test sites were evaluated and scored according to a numerical scale, 1, 24, and 72 hours after the end of the 4-hour exposure period.  Exposure to the test substance resulted in very slight or well-defined erythema and very slight or well-defined oedema in the treated skin areas of the three rabbits. The skin irritation had resolved within 48 hours after exposure in two animals and within 72 hours in the other animal.
