Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The substance is not irritant to the skin
Executive summary:

In a test according to OECD 404 3 rabbits were exposed dermally to the substance under semi-occlusion for 4 hours. No signs of irritation were observed at the 1, 24, 48 and 48 hour observations. A slight yellow staining of the skin was seen. The substance is not irritant to the skin.
