Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 2 (irritant)
Remarks:
Migrated information
Conclusions:
moderately irrtating to skin



Classification: not irritating
Executive summary:

In a GLP compliant skin irritation study performed according to OECD 404 the test substance was shown to be an irritant to the rabbits skin. No relevant systemic intolerance reactions were observed.
