Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU-GHS
Conclusions:
The study was conducted according OECD Guideline 404 and is well-documented. Hence, the study can be considered as valid and the results as reliable. Consequently, the test item is considered as not irritating and not corrosive.
Executive summary:

In a dermal irritation study according to OECD Guideline 404 (Bayer AG, Märtins, 1988), 3 male adult albino-rabbits (strain: New Zealand White) were dermally exposed to 0.5 mL of the test item (1,3,4-Thiadiazolidine-2,5-dithione, reaction products with hydrogen peroxide and tert-dodecanethiol) for 4 hours to ca. 6cm² clipped skin. Afterwards, the exposed skin areas were washed with water and animals were observed for 7 days.

No erythema, eschar or oedema were observed at any time point.
