Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Based on the responses 24 & 72 hours after exposure to Tris (2-ethylhexyl)trimellitate/Nuoplaz 6959/TOTM as supplied it was not classified as a primary skin irritant to albino rabbits within the definition of the ACT reference: section 1500.3 (c) (4).
Executive summary:

Acute dermal irritation has been assessed in the rabbit using FHSA test methods with a 24 hour exposure.

The irritation observed was not of sufficient severity or persistence for the substance to require classification as a skin irritant.
