Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 2 (irritant) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
Citral diethyl acetal was moderately irritating to rabbit skin after 24 hours exposure.
Executive summary:

A study was performed to assess the dermal irritation potential of citral diethyl acetal in rabbits.Undiluted citral diethyl acetal was applied under occlusion to intact and abraded skin of rabbits. The rabbits were observed for signs of irritation for 24 hours.Citral diethyl acetal was moderately irritating to rabbit skin after 24 hours exposure.
