Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Not corrosive to skin.
Executive summary:

0.5 gm of the test substance was applied to a 1.5 by 1.5 inch area of the clipped dorsal skin of six albino rabbits. The treated area was covered with an occlusive dressing. After 4 hours, the wrapping was removed any skin reactions evaluated. The test sites were then washed. Readings were again made at 24 and 48 hours after the initial application. There was no skin corrosion. One rabbit died prior to the 24-hour reading from non-compound related cause. According to the Regulations of the Department of Transportation, the test substance is not corrosive to skin.
