Irritant / corrosive response data:
Erythema:
At 24 hours 2 animals had no reaction, 3 had a slight reaction and 1 had a mild reaction
At 48 hours 4 animals had no reaction and 2 animals had a slight reaction

Edema
At 24 hours 1 animal had a slight reaction and 5 had no reaction
At 48 hours no animals had reactions.

This substance therefore produced minimal irritation in 6 animals after a very conservative 24 hour occlusive exposure. As such it is not considered an irritant according to the EU classification and labelling criteria.

Any other information on results incl. tables

Erythema:

At 48 hours 4 animals had no reaction and 2 animals had a slight reaction

Edema

At 24 hours 1 animal had a slight reaction and 5 had no reaction

At 48 hours no animals had reactions.

This substance therefore produced minimal irritation in 6 animals after a very conservative 24 hour occlusive exposure. As such it is not considered an irritant according to the EU classification and labelling criteria.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
This substance produced minimal irritation in 6 animals after a 24 hour occlusive exposure. As such it is not considered an irritant according to the EU classification and labelling criteria.
Executive summary:

Doses of 0.1ml of test compound applied to intact skin of rabbits under 1 1/2 inch by 1 1/2 inch, 12 -ply gauze squares. Rubber sheeting was then loosely wrapped around the trunk and secured with tape. After 24 hours the rabbits were removed from the stocks, the patches taken off and the reactions observed. Observations were also made at 48 hours. Erythema and edema were scored qualitatively as negative, slight, mild, moderate or severe.

This substance  produced minimal irritation in 6 animals after a 24 hour occlusive exposure. As such it is not considered an irritant according to the EU classification and labelling criteria.
