Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Primary skin irritation has been investigated according to FHSA test methods. Based on the available information, (erythema score 2.00, oedema score 2.25), the substance is not a dermal irritant according to CLP (1272/2008/EEC).
The conditions of the available study are more stringent, in particular the 24 hour exposure period compared with 4 hours of current test methods (described in OECD TG 404), and are thus regarded as worst case scenario. In conclusion the substance is not classified skin irritating based on CLP.
Executive summary:

In a primary dermal irritation study, rabbits were dermally exposed to 0.5 mL of 4 -MHHPA for 24 hours. Reaction was assessed after 24 and 72 hours and assigned a numerical score according to the Draize scale. .

A mean erythema score (24 - 72 hours),calculated over all 6 animals, for intact skin of 2.00 and for abraded skin of 2.33 was observed. The oedema score was determined to be 2.25 for intact skin and 2.67 for abraded skin.

Taking the test conditions into account, in particular the 24 hour exposure period compared with 4 hours of current test methods described in OECD TG 404, 4 -MHHPA has not to be classified and labelled as dermal irritant according to CLP (1272/2008/EEC).
