Irritant / corrosive response data:
There was no erythma, eschar, or edema formation in any of the rabbits at any time. Since no positive reactions were observed at the 72 hour observation the study was considered completed at that time.
Other effects:
None.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information not classified Criteria used for interpretation of results: OECD GHS
Conclusions:
Results from the Primary Dermal Irritation Test suggest that DMH is considered non-irritating when tested on laboratory animals according to TSCA Test Guidelines.
Executive summary:

Results from the Primary Dermal Irritation Test suggest that DMH is considered non-irritating when tested on laboratory animals according to TSCA Test Guidelines.
