Irritant / corrosive response data:
Already one hour after application necrosis was obseverved, but not after 3 min. Because of the fast corrosive action of the test substance, the study was terminated after treatment of one animal.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 1B (corrosive) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
Following application of the test substance to the skin of rabbits, severe signs of irritation and necrosis formation can be observed already one hour after application. Therefore, it needs to be concluded that the test substance is corrosive to the skin and is classified as Category 1B according to Regulation (EC) 1272/2008.
