Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The skin irritation/corrosion of L-TEE was evaluated using a single semi-occluded application to intact rabbit skin for four hours. The study was perforned in compliance with the testing guidelines OECD (404) and EC (method B4). L-TEE did not elicit any dermal reactions. Based on these data, L-TEE is not classified.
Executive summary:

This study was conducted to determine the irritation or corrosion caused to intact rabbit skin. L-TEE (500 mg) was applied to a 30 x 20 mm area on the clipped dorsum of each of three New Zealand White rabbits on Day 1. The treated area of skin was covered by a semi-occlusive bandage for four hours. Dermal reactions to treatment were assessed for three days after removal of the dressings.

No reactions were observed following a single semi-occluded, topical application of L-TEE to the intact skin of three rabbits for four hours.

Based on these data, L-TEE is not classified.
