Irritant / corrosive response data:
Very slight erythema was seen in one animal approximately 1 hour after washing. There were no signs of oedema in any animal and no additional signs of skin irritation.
Other effects:
There were no signs of ill-health in any animal during the study.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The test substance is practically a non-irritant to the skin.
Executive summary:

The study was conducted to assess the skin irritation potential of the test substance according to the guideline OECD 404 and EU method B.4. Three male rabbits were assessed for skin irritation. The test substance was applied undiluted and allowed to remain covered for 4 hours. The test sites were then washed and evaluated at 1 hour and 1, 2, and 3 days. Very slight erythema was seen in one animal approximately 1 hour after washing. There were no signs of oedema in any animal and no additional signs of skin irritation. The test substance was judged to be practically non-irritating in a single 4-hour application to rabbit skin.
