Administrative data

Endpoint:
skin irritation: in vivo
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
1966
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
comparable to guideline study with acceptable restrictions
Remarks:
This study generally follows current guidance for conducting skin irritation studies, but certain details regarding study conduct are missing. In addition, abraded skin was evaluated (only intact skin should be evaluated) and the study was not conducted under GLP.

Details on study design:
Six albino rabbits of either sex, weighing from 2.1 to 2.7 kg, were used  to evaluate the primary skin irritation of the test material.  
The animals were divided into two groups, three with intact and three with abraded skin.  
The test material was applied to six one-inch square gauze  patches in the amount of 0.5 ml per patch.  
The patches were applied to  the back of each rabbit, and the patches backed with adhesive tape and  covered with a protective tape layer. 
After 24-hours the patches were  removed and the test sites observed for irritation.  The sites were re- examined at 72 hours, the animals weighed 
and the study terminated.

Any other information on results incl. tables

The average values for erythema and edema obtained from the
three abraded (A) and three intact (I) areas are presented
below:

  24 hours    72 hours   
  Erythema   Edema Erythema  Edema   
Abraded  1.0  0.33  0.33   
Intact  1.0  0   


Based on a PDII of 0.66, this material is considered to be slightly irritating to rabbit skin.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
In the in vivo skin irritation study, conducted according to a protocol similar to OECD Test Guideline 404 but prior to GLP, trimethoxy(methyl)silane was not irritating to intact skin following 24-hour occluded dermal application.
