Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Remarks:
The test item has not to be classified for skin irritation according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
Conclusions:
The test item has not to be classified for skin irritation according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
Executive summary:

The primary skin irritation potential of the test item was investigated according to OECD test guideline no. 404. The test item was applied by topical semi-occlusive application of 0.5 g, pasted with polyethyleneglycol to the intact flank of each of three young adult New Zealand White rabbits. The duration of treatment was four hours. The scoring of skin reactions was performed 30 - 60 min, 24, 48 and 72 hours after removal of the dressing. The mean score was calculated across 3 scoring times (24, 48 and 72 hours after patch removal) for each animal. No signs of irritation were observed during the whole observation period. Staining produced by the test item was present at all reading time points.

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