Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- Category 2 (irritant) based on GHS criteria
- Conclusions:
- It can be concluded that chloroform is irritating to the rabbit's skin.
- Executive summary:
The skin irritation potential of chloroform was tested in female New Zealand rabbits according to the principles of the Draize test. A single application of pure chloroform resulted in moderate to severe erythema and moderate to severe oedema. The primary dermal irritation index of chloroform was 5.6. Chloroform was classified as a severe skin irritant.
