Irritant / corrosive response data:
Well-defined to moderate to severe erythema with slight oedema was observed in all three animals. In addition, desquamation of the corneum stratum (characterised by dryness and sloughing) was seen in three animals, thickening of the skin in two animals and cracking of the skin in one animal. Reactions gradually ameliorated and had resolved completely in one animal by day 10, however, very slight to well-defined erythema was still present in the remaining two animals at study termination on day 14.
Other effects:
There were no signs of toxicity or ill health in any rabbit during the observation period.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 2 (irritant) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
In a reliable study conducted according to OECD Test Guideline 404 and in compliance with GLP, the test material is concluded to be a Category 2 skin irritant, based on the erythema reading of 3 in two of the tested animals from the gradings at 24, 48 and 72 hours after patch removal.
