Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The test material failed to induce sufficient dermal irritation to be considered irritating to skin.
Executive summary:

In this guideline (CFR 1500.41) study, the test material (unchanged) was administered topically to the intact skin of 8 rabbits. Results were measured at 24 hours using the draize scale. The test material produced a mild irritation which disappeared and failed to induce sufficient dermal irritation to be considered a dermal irritant.
