Irritant / corrosive response data:
Under the conditions of the experiment, test item was found to cause a primary irritation score of 0 when applied to intact rabbit skin. In the area of application, a hardly perceptible yeIlow discolouration of the skin was observed, which could be related to effects of the test article.
No corrosion effect has occurred on the skin at each measuring interval.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: not classified, according to the CLP Regulation (EC) 1272/2008
Conclusions:
Not skin irritating
Executive summary:

The primary skin irritation potential of the substance was investigated according to OECD test guideline no. 404. The test item was moinstened with tap water, to one male and one female New Zealand White rabbits. The scoring of skin reactions was performed 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours.

Under the conditions of the experiment, test item was found to cause a primary irritation score of 0 when applied to intact rabbit skin. In the area of application, a hardly perceptible yeIlow discolouration of the skin was observed, which could be related to effects of the test article.

No corrosion effect has occurred on the skin at each measuring interval.

Conclusion

Mean values from gradings at 24, 48 and 72 hours were lower than 2.3 in all animals for both erythema/eschar and oedema reactions. Although two animals, instead of three, the results can be considered as sufficiently clear and probative to conclude that the test item does not meet the criteria to be classified as irritating, according to the CLP Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
