Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
TEST ANIMALS
- Source: Charles River Deutschland, 97633 Sulzfeld, Germany
- Housing: ABS - plastic rabbit or Noryl rabbit cages, floor 4200 cm²
- Diet: ad libitum, Altromin 2123 maintenance diet for rabbits, rich in crude fibre
- Water: ad libitum, tap water
- Acclimation period: adequate

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 18 ± 3
- Humidity (%): 55 ± 10
- Air changes (per hr): 10
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12 / 12

Test system

Type of coverage:
semiocclusive
Preparation of test site:
clipped
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
yes, concurrent no treatment
Amount / concentration applied:
0.5 mL
Duration of treatment / exposure:
4 h
Observation period:
Due to the persistent lesions 72 hours after the patch removal, the observation period was extended
in order to evaluate the reversibility or irreversibility of the lesions. Therefore, animal no. 1 was
observed for 10 days, animal no. 2 was observed for 9 days and animal no. 3 was observed for
4 days.
Number of animals:
3

Irritant / corrosive response data:
The test item showed slightly irritant (erythema up to grade 2, oedema up to grade 2), but no corrosive effects on the intact skin of three male rabbits (strain NZW) after a contact time of 4 hours. All signs of irritation were completely reversible within up to 10 days after patch removal.
Other effects:
Neither mortalities nor significant clinical signs of toxicity were observed.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 3 (mild irritant) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
The test item showed slightly irritant (erythema up to grade 2, oedema up to grade 2), but no corrosive effects on the intact skin of three male rabbits (strain NZW) after a contact time of 4 hours. All signs of irritation were completely reversible within up to 10 days after patch removal.
Executive summary:

In this irritation study the test item was applied to one site of the closely clipped backs of three male rabbits (strain NZW) at a dose of 0.5 mL per application site. The untreated other side served as control.

The application site was covered with a semi-occlusive bandage for a 4-hour contact time.

Neither mortalities nor significant clinical signs of toxicity were observed.

Under the conditions of the present study, the test item showed irritant but no corrosive effects which were fully reversible within up to 10 days.
