Endpoint:
skin corrosion: in vitro / ex vivo
Data waiving:
study scientifically not necessary / other information available
Justification for data waiving:
the study need not be conducted because the available information indicates that the criteria are met for classification as corrosive to the skin or irritating to eyes
Endpoint:
skin irritation: in vitro / ex vivo
Data waiving:
study scientifically not necessary / other information available
Justification for data waiving:
an in vitro skin irritation study does not need to be conducted because adequate data from an in vivo skin irritation study are available
Endpoint:
skin irritation: in vivo
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 404 (Acute Dermal Irritation / Corrosion)
Deviations:
no
GLP compliance:
yes
Species:

Strain:
New Zealand White
Remarks:
albino
Type of coverage:
semiocclusive
Preparation of test site:
clipped
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
other: untreated skin served as control
Amount / concentration applied:
0.5 mL
Duration of treatment / exposure:
4 hours
Observation period:
14 days
Number of animals:
Three
Remarks on result:
other: severe dermal reactions with necrosis in all three animals
Interpretation of results:
Category 1 (corrosive) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
Severe dermal irritation with necrosis were reported for all three animals tested.
Executive summary:

A single semi-occlusive application of the test item to intact rabbit skin for four hours elicited severe dermal irritation with necrosis.

Additional information

Skin corrosion in vitro

The study need not be conducted because the available information indicates that the criteria are met for classification as corrosive to skin or irritating to eyes.

 

Skin irritation in vitro

An in vitro skin irritation study does not need to be conducted because adequate data from an in vivo skin irritation study are available.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Available data from an in vivo study indicates that the substance is corrosive to skin under the terms of Regulation (EC) 2072/2008.
