Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Based on the results and the calculated primary irritation index (modified) of 0, the test substance should be considered as non-irritating.
Executive summary:

Tetrabenzylthiuram disulfide (TBzTD) was tested in the rabbit primary skin irritation/corrosion test.

The flank skin of 3 albino rabbits was exposed to 0.5 gram of the test substance moistened with 0.3 ml Milli-RO water for 4 hours using semi-occlusive dressings. The test substance caused no adverse effects to the skin in any of the animals during the observation period.

The primary skin irritation index amounted to 0. Based on these results, the test substance should be considered as non-irritating to the skin.

According to the criteria laid down in Annex VI of the EEC Council Directive 67/548/EEC, the test substance need not be labelled as a skin irritant.
