Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Remarks:
not irritating
Conclusions:
The test substance has not to be classified according regulation (EU) 1272/2008, Annex I, 3.2.
Executive summary:

The test material was subject to an acute dermal irritation/corrosion test in 3 New Zealand White rabbits (2 males, 1 female) according to OECD TG 404. A single 4-hour semi-occluded application (0.5 g) of the test material was administered to the intact skin of three rabbits. Skin reactions were recorded 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after administration. No skin reactions occurred during the observation period.

The mean score for oedema and erythema grades was calculated across 3 scoring times (24, 48 and 72 hours after patch removal) for each animal separately. The mean score for oedema and erythema was 0 for all three animals. The application of the test item to the skin resulted in marked dark orange staining produced by the color of test item of the treated skin in all animals at the 1- hour reading and persisted in all animals up to the end of the observation period. No corrosive effects were noted on the treated skin of any animal at any of the measuring intervals and no clinical signs were observed.

Therefore, the test item has not to be classified for skin irritation according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
