Description of key information

The test material is not irritating to skin under test conditions. The test conditions were more stringent than required by OECD TG 404 (i.e. 24 h treatment, occlusive coverage, and scarified skin instead of 4 h treatment, semi-occlusive coverage, and intact skin).

The test material was not irritating to eyes in all animals under test conditions, which are basically in accordance with todays standard methods regarding dosing, exposure duration, scoring system and reading time points. Therefore, it is concluded that the submission substance is not irritating to eyes.

SCORING SYSTEM: erythema and edema scores ranging from 0-4.

Skin was evaluated immediately, 24 h and 48 h after after removal of the patch. Mean values of the readings 24 and 48 h after removal are reported in the results table.

Irritant / corrosive response data:
Immediately after removal of patch no erythema score could be determined due to coloration of the skin, no edema was detectable at the end of the exposure duration (score 0). No erythema or edema were detectable at any later time point.
Results with scarified skin were the same.
Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The test material is not irritating to skin under these test conditions.
This conclusion is legitimate even though the applied testing regime differs from today's standard methods. Since the test conditions were more stringent than required by OECD TG 404 (i.e. 24 h treatment, occlusive coverage, and scarified skin instead of 4 h treatment, semi-occlusive coverage, and intact skin) the test results are considered adequate to fulfill the endpoint requirements.
Executive summary:

The test material was tested for skin irritancy according to FDA guidelines. Both intact and scarified skin sites of six rabbits were exposed to 0.5 g test substance for 24 h under occlusive conditions and the skin responses were watched for 48 hours after end of exposure. Immediately after removal of patch no erythema score could be determined due to pigment overlay. No erythema were seen at the later observation time points. No edema were seen at any time point (score 0). The test item is not irritating under these test conditions.

Executive summary:

Test material was subject to a test of eye irritancy according to FDA guidelines (Fed. Reg. Vol. 38, No. 187, p. 27019, 1973). 100 mg of substance were applied to one eye of six animals. The eyes were washed 24 h after application and eye responses were noted for 72 h after start of the exposure. No iridial effects were observed in any animal, and only 1/6 animals had a chemosis score of 1 in the 7 h reading which was completely reversible within 24 h. Slight to moderate corneal effects were visible in 5/6 animals. Apart from 1 animal these effects were completely reversible within the observation time. Conjunctivae redness was observed in 4/6 animals, the effect was also reversible within 72 h for all animals apart from one. It can be concluded that a longer observation period would have resulted in a complete reversibility.
