other: corrosion
Basis:
mean
Time point:
other: 5 min
Remarks on result:
probability of severe irritation
Remarks:
corrosion
Irritant / corrosive response data:
1 min exposure: slight hyperaemia
3 min exposure: slight hyperaemia with moderate necrosis
5 min exposure: extensive necrosis resulting in heavy scab

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 1B (corrosive) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
Exposure to undiluted 2-SEM for 5 minutes caused skin corrosion, whereas exposure for 3 minutes caused skin irritation.
