Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Whilst there is some transient irritation according to Draize criteria, it is not sufficient to classify as irritant according to the EU criteria. The Classification is 'not irritating'.
Executive summary:

In a primary dermal irritation study, conducted according to OECD Guideline No.404, the shaved skin of 3 New Zealand white rabbits (females) was exposed to 0.5 ml of undiluted 2,2-bis(chloromethyl)trimethylene bis(bis(2-chloroethyl)phosphate) for 4 hours under semiocclusive conditions. The animals then were observed for up to 7 days. Irritation was scored by the method of Draize. In this study the substance was slightly irritant to rabbit skin, but the level of irritation was not suifficient for a classification as skin irritant according to EU criteria.
