Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Executive summary:

A study for irritant / corrosive potential on the rabbit's skin was conducted with 'Reaction mass of benzyl 2-ethylhexyl adipate and bis(2-ethylhexyl) adipate and dibenzyl adipate' in accordance witz the OECD Guideline for testing of chemicals No. 404. Based on the obtained results 'Reaction mass of benzyl 2-ethylhexyl adipate and bis(2-ethylhexyl) adipate and dibenzyl adipate' can be regarded as not irritating to the skin.
