Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 2 (irritant)
Conclusions:
According to CLP criteria, the test substance undecylenic acid requires classification as "Irritant" (category 2).
Executive summary:

The potential of the test substance undecylenic acid to induce irritation or corrosion in rabbit skin was evaluated according to OECD guideline 404 in rabbits and was determined as irritant (category 2) according to regulation (EC) No. 1272 -2008.
