Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
This study found that the test substance did not meet the criteria to be classified as a skin irritant according to GHS criteria. The test material was not found to be non-irritant to the rabbit skin.
Executive summary:

Testing was carried out in accordance with EEC guidelines Annex V and OECD 404. The acute dermal irritation potential of the test material was investigate in 3 New Zealand White rabbits.

The test material was applied as supplied to the shaved dorsal area of the trunk of each rabbit under a semi-occlusive patch which remained in position for 4 h. Skin reactions were then assessed 1, 24, 48 and 72 h after patch removal. No erythema or oedema was noted in any of the animals thoughout the observation period. Yellow colouring of the test sites was noted on Day 1 of the study. Under the conditions of the study, Intermediate 290437 was found to be non-irrtant to rabbit skin.
