Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 2 (irritant) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
The substance resulted in a primary irritation index 5.3 (severaly irritating) when applied to the intact rabbit skin.
Executive summary:

This study was entitled "Primary skin irritation/corrosion study with the substance in the rabbit (4-hour semi-occlusive application)".

The purpose of this study was to assess the possible irritation or corrosion potencial of the substance when a single dose was placed on the skin of rabbits. Under the conditions of this study, the substance resulted in well defined or severe erythema and slight or moderate oedema in the three animals. The skin irritation had not resolved within the study period and no corrosive effect occurred on the skin in all three animals.

The substance resulted in a primary irritation index of 5.3 (severely irritating) when applied to intact rabbit skin.
