Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
No skin irritation was observed in a study conduceted according to OECD 404 in rabbits. After an observation period of 76 hours, for intact skin all scores for erythema and edema were 0.
For abraded skin very slight erythema with a maximum score of 1 in one animal was observed. Effects were fully reversible within 76 hours.
