Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The substance is determined to be non-irritating.
Executive summary:

In a primary dermal irritation study , 3 young adult New Zealand white rabbits were dermally exposed to 0.5 ml of Benzenesulfonic acid, mono-C16-24-alkyl derivs., calcium salts for 4 hours.  Animals then were observed for 14 days.  Irritation was scored by the method of Draize.

 

In this study, Benzenesulfonic acid, mono-C16-24-alkyl derivs., calcium salts is not a dermal irritant.
