Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Mean PDI = 0.1 on a scale of 8
Executive summary:

A primary irritation score (mean of 24 and 72h) of 0.1 on a scale of 8.0 was calculated following a 24-hour dermal exposure of hydrogenated terphenyl to the intact and abraded skin of six rabbits. No apparent signs of systemic toxicity were observed.
