Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 2 (irritant)
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The test substance is irritating to the skin
Executive summary:

Six rabbits were exposed to the test substance dermally for 24 hours under occlusion. The test substance initiated irritation of the skin at 24 and 72 h observations. This irritation was not shown to be reversible. Therefore the test substance is classified as skin irritant category 2.
