Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The substance is not classified as skin irritation (for Category 2 at least 4 out of 6 rabbits should show a mean score per animal of ≥ 2.3 ≤ 4.0 for erythema/eschar or for edema).
