Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Executive summary:

As prescribed in 49 CFR 173.240, one -half ml of undiluted propane-2 -thiol was applied to the intact skin site under standard gauze patches of six albino rabbits. The entire fur-clipped trunk of each animal was then covered with an impervious sleeve for a skin-contact period of 4 hours and then observed during 3 days. When exposures were terminated, moderate erythema (score 2) was present at all of the treated sites, this dissipated completely overnight. No other signs of skin irritation were discernible. Propane-2 -thiol is almost slightly irritating to skin.
