At 24 hours, a severe erythema and a moderate oedema were observed. They were totally reversible from Day 5 of the study.
At Day 4, a scab was observed on the treated site until the end of the observation period.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 1B (corrosive) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
In accordance with Regulation EC No. 1272/2008, the test substance has to be classified in Category 1B. Hazard statement “H314: Causes severe skin burns and eye damage” with signal word “Danger” are required.
Executive summary:

An in vivo skin irritation test on rabbit was conducted to predict the acute skin irritation potential of the test substance according to Guideline OECD 404.

The test substance was applied in one rabbit. 24h after the application, a severe erythema couple with a moderate edema were observed. This reactions were totally reversibles after 5 days. At day 4, the formation of a scab on the treated site was observed. This scab was noted until the end of the observation period.

Therefore, in accordance with Regulation EC No. 1272/2008, the test substance has to be classified in Category 1B “ Causes severe skin burns and eye damage”. Hazard statement “H314: Causes severe skin burns and eye damage” with signal word “Danger” are required.
