Any other information on results incl. tables

Under the conditions of this study, the test substance caused moderate irritation to rabbit skin.

At 4 hours, produced marginal to distinct erythema and edema in most rabbits;

at 24 hours, the intensity of erythema and edema increased with 5/8 animals also showing marginal cracking;

at 48 hours, the intensity of erythema and edema stabilized and 6/8 animals had marginal to slight cracking with 1/8 animals having marginal scaling and

at 72 hours, 1/8 rabbits showed no erythema or edema; 7/8 had marginal to distinct erythema and edema; 7/8 had marginal to slight cracking and 5/8 had marginal scaling.

The overall irritation score was 177, mean score per site was 22.13, and mean score per site per day was 5.53.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 2 (irritant) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
Under the conditions of this study, the test substance caused only moderate irritation to rabbit skin.
However, due to the described irritation effects and choosing a conservative approach, methylionone is regarded as irritant to rabbit skin.
