Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
slightly irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: other: Scoring according to Draize
Conclusions:
Since the test material produced a primary irritation index of 0.3, it can be considered as a mild primary irritant and not sufficient for classification.
