Irritant / corrosive response data:
The test substance was not irritating. Mean score was 0.0 for both erythema and edema.
Very slight (grade 1) erythema was observed in 3/3 rabbits at the 4-hour reading. The skin of all animals was normal at the 24-hour reading and later.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Under the study conditions, the test substance was not a skin irritant, mean score was 0.0 for both erythema and edema.
Executive summary:

A study was conducted to determine the skin irritation potential of the test substance according to OECD Guideline 404 study. The undiluted test substance was applied to the skin of three Vienna White rabbits for 4 hours. Under the study conditions, the test substance was not a skin irritant, mean score was 0.0 for both erythema and edema (BASF, 1989).
