Irritant / corrosive response data:
Individual animal scores were not reported.
Other effects:
REVERSIBILITY: Irritation scores were only reported up to 72 hours after exposure and over this time course the irritant effects were not reversible. 
Group mean erythema scores increased over this observation period for all test concentrations. For undiluted material erythema scores were as 
follows 24 hour 1.5; 48 hours 2.4; 72 hour 3, oedema remained constant at 0.8. Erythema scores with the 50% solution increased from 2.2 to 2.8 
while the oedema score reduced from 0.8 to 0.2. The 25% solution showed an increase in erythema score from 1.2 to 2.0 there was no oedema. 

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 3 (mild irritant) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
Following a 4 hour occlusive exposure to rabbit skin undiluted undecanol was found to be irritant according to both EU and GHS (category 2) criteria. 25 and 50% dilutions in PEG400 were also tested, the 50% dilution was irritant under EU criteria while both the 25% and 50% dilutions would be considered mild irritants (category 3) under GHS.
