Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Not irritant to the rabbit skin.
Executive summary:

Method:


Skin irritation potential was tested as described into the Federal Register 1973, Volume 38, No. 187, 1500.41. Test substance was applied on both intact and abraded skin of 6 rabbits for 24 h under occlusive coverage. Signs of irritation were scored at 24 h and 72 h after start of exposure according to Draize criteria.


Results:


No signs of irritation were noted.
