Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
corrosive
Conclusions:
Classification: corrosive (causes burns)
Executive summary:

Skin corrosion was investigated in an pre-OECD Guideline and pre-GLP study (BASF AG, 1986). Three rabbits were semiocclusively exposed to N-(3 -Aminopropyl)-imidazole for 3 min and 1 h. Readings for edema and erythema scores were done within 1 h after exposure and at day 1, 2, and 3. After 3 min of exposure only 1 of 3 animals showed erythema and no edema were observed. After 1 h of exposure clinical signs of necrosis were observed in all 3 animals, which were confirmed by gross-pathological examination after incision of the skin. Therefore, N-3 -Aminopropyl)-imidazole is considered to be corrosive to the skin.
