Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: OECD GHS
Executive summary:

A well-conducted Acute Dermal Irritation/ Corrosion test (OECD 404) was performed on rabbits with the test substance. An erythema (grade 1) was observed in all animals 60 minutes, in animal nos. 2 and 3 until 48 hours after patch removal. There were no systemic intolerance reactions.
