Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
An acute dermal Irritation test was performed according to OECD guideline 404. No substance related effects were seen. Therefore, TPAB can be classified as non-irritant to the skin, according to Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.
