Interpretation of results:

not classified

Remarks:

Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU

Conclusions:

The test material produced a primary irritation index of 0.5 and was classified as a mild irritant to rabbit skin according to the Draize classification system. No corrosive effects were recorded.

The test material did not meet the criteria for classification as irritant or corrosive according to the EU labelling regulations Commision Directive 2001/59/EC for Classification and Labelling of Dangerous Substances. The results were also interpreted according to Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008, relating to the Classification, Labelling and Packaging of Substances and Mixtures.

Executive summary:

Introduction

This study was performed to assess the irritancy potential of the test material to the skin of the New Zealand White rabbit. The method used was designed to be compatible with the following guidelines:

- OECD Guidelines for the Testing of Chemicals No. 404 'Acute Dermal Irritation/Corrosion' (adopted 24 April 2002)

- Method B4 Acute Toxicity (Skin Irritation) of Commission Regulation (EC) No. 440/2008.

Results and Conclusion

The test material produced a primary irritation index of 0.5 and was classified as a mild irritant to rabbit skin according to the Draize classification system. No corrosive effects were recorded.

The test material did not meet the criteria for classification as irritant or corrosive according to the EU labelling regulations Commision Directive 2001/59/EC for Classification and Labelling of Dangerous Substances. The results were also interpreted according to Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008, relating to the Classification, Labelling and Packaging of Substances and Mixtures.
