Any other information on results incl. tables

No deaths or body weight changes were observed. Very slight erythema was noted for one animal at the 48- and 72-hour
observations. There was no edema or other dermal irritation noted. A primary irritation index score of 0.2 was
calculated from the results, consistent with a slight skin irritation potential in the rabbit.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
In a skin irritation toxicity study, conducted according to OECD test guideline 404 and in compliance with GLP, the test substance was found to be slightly irritating, as determined in a reliable study. The observed effects do not meet the criteria for classification as a skin irritant in the EU.
