Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 1C (corrosive) based on GHS criteria
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Executive summary:

In a dermal irritation/corrosion test the test substance formulated in water was corrosive to the skin of rabbits according to OECD TG 404. Within the 7-day post-observation period no restitution with normal skin findings at the application site were observed.
