Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Under the study conditions, the test substance was determined to be not irritating to rabbit skin.
Executive summary:

A study was conducted to determine the in vivo skin irritation potential of the test substance according OECD Guideline 404 and EU Method B.4. Three rabbits (New-Zealand White) were exposed to 500 mg of the test substance for 4 h. The type of coverage was semi-occlusive, realised on shaved dorsal skin. The observation period was 72 h post-exposure. No erythema, edema or eschar formation was noted in any of the animals. Under the study conditions, the test substance was determined to be not irritating to rabbit skin.
