GHS criteria not met
Executive summary:

Method: 3 white New-Zealand rabbits were treated with 0.5 ml of undiluted test substance. The test item remained under semiocclusion on the skin for 4 hours. Treated animals were inspected for skin effects (erythma, oedema) after removal of patches and after 1, 2, 3 and 7 days. Total observation time was 7 days

Result: slightly irritating to the skin, but not sufficient for classification
