Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 2 (irritant)
Conclusions:
Two concentrations of cyclamen aldehyde were tested. Classification is based on the study performed with 100%. The study was performed with more than 3 animals. In this case specific provisions apply to the classification criteria in CLP Regulation (EC) no. 1272/2008. In accordance with this classification criteria the test substance is considered to be a Category 2 skin irritant.
