Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
In conclusion, it can be stated that in this study and under the experimental conditions reported, the test item is not irritant to skin.
Executive summary:

A skin irritation test was performed according to OECD 404 and GLP. In the study 5 rabbits were exposed to 0.5 mL of the undiluted test substance for 4 hours. After removal of the test substance the test site (2.5 x 2.5 cm) was evaluated after 1, 24, 48, 72 hours and 7 days. The mean erythema and edema score for 24/48/72h and 7 days were 0. Due to these results the test substance was found to be not skin irritating and without classification at 100 %.
