Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
highly corrosive
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: expert judgment
Conclusions:
Based on the study report and the criteria laid down in the Directive 83/467/EEC, Genamin CC 100 D has to be labelled as corrosive (C) with the designation R35 - causes severe burns.
Executive summary:

Severe erythema and moderate edema were observed for three minute exposure and one hour exposure time. After 24hrs following removal of the patches the skin was hardened, lumpy and discolored from light-brown to brown/black. The treated area was sharply confined to the untreated skin and in case of the animals with one hour exposure time circumvented with a white rim. From 7 days after removal of the patches, desquamation of coarse scales occurred and in some cases open wounds and 14 to 21 days after removal of the patches eschar formation was observed. The newly build skin was pergament-like, pink and scarred.

Based on the study report and the criteria laid down in the Directive 83/467/EEC, Genamin CC 100 D has to be labelled as corrosive (C) with the designation R35 - causes severe burns.
