Irritant / corrosive response data:
No skin irritation was caused by 4 hours exposure to S-500.
There was no evidence of a corrosive effect on the skin.
Yellow staining of the treated skin by the test substance was observed throughout the observation period, but did not hamper the scoring of the skin reactions.
No remnants of the test substance were present on the skin.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Based on these results, S-500 does not have to be classified and has no obligatory labeling requirement for skin irritation according to the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) of the United Nations (2004) and EC criteria for classification and labeling requirements for dangerous substances and preparations (Council Directive 67/548/EEC).
