Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
slightly irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information GHS, UN CAT 3
Conclusions:
The skin irritation of the test substance was assesed in rabbits and a slight irritation potential was found.
Executive summary:

The test substance was applied to shaved skin of rabbits under occlusion for 3 min and 4 h. After 3 min no irritation was detected. After 4 h a mean erythema score of 1.75 (of 4) was observed and an edema of 1.5 (of 4) for 24 - 48 h after exposure. The effects were fully reversible within 8 days.
