Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
In conclusion, in an acute dermal irritation/corrosion study according to OECD 404, the read-across partner Sodium molybdate was found to be non-irritating.
Executive summary:

In a primary dermal irritation study (OECD guideline 404) six female New Zealand white rabbits were dermally exposed to 0.5 g of Sodium molybdate for 4 hours to a body surface area of 2.5 cm² under semi-occlusive conditions. Animals then were observed for 0.5, 24, 48 and 72 hours. Sodium molybdate did not cause any skin effects and is considered under the conditions of this study as non toxic.
