Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:




Classification: not irritating
Executive summary:

In a dermal irritation/corrosion study according to OECD TG 404 1,5-Naphthylene diisocyanate (NDI) was applied under semiocclusive dressings for 4 hours to the shaved skin of 3 female rabbits. Skin irritation was assessed after 1, 24, 48, 72 hours and 7 and 14 days using the Draize scale. The mean irritation index for erythema was 2.0 of max. 4 (1.7 -2.7), the mean irritation index for edema was 0.8 of max. 4 (0.0 -1.7). Signs were fully reversible in all animals within two weeks. The weight of these evidences

indicates that the test substance may be considered as "slightly to moderately irritating to the skin". No relevant systemic intolerance reactions were observed.

According to classification criteria NDI is not an irritant to the skin.
