Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Classification: not irritating
Executive summary:

Hofmann, T and Weigand, W, 1986

The testing of 3,4 -dichloroaniline for dermal irritation/ corrosion on 3 New Zealand White rabbits according to OECD guideline 404/ EU B.4 did neither result in skin irritation or corrosion. Therefore 3,4 -dichloroaniline needs not to be classified.
