- TEST MATERIAL APPLICATION
One rabbit was initially treated. Three suitable sites were selected on the back of the rabbit. At each test site a quantity of 0.5 g of the test material, moistened with 0.5 mL of distilled water, was introduced under a 2.5 cm x 2.5 cm cotton gauze patch and placed in position on the shorn skin. Each patch was secured in position with a strip of surgical adhesive tape. To prevent the animal interfering with the patches, the trunk of the rabbit was wrapped in an elasticated corset and the animal was returned to its cage for the duration of the exposure period.
After consideration of the skin reactions produced in the first animal, two additional animals were treated with 0.5 g of test material moistened with 0.5 mL of distilled water. One patch was applied to the back of each rabbit, and was allowed to remain in contact with the skin for a period of four hours.
REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): Any residual test material was removed by gentle swabbing with cotton wool soaked in distilled water.
- Time after start of exposure: One patch was removed at each of three time points: 3 minutes, 1 hour and 4 hours after application.

Very slight oedema was noted at one treated skin site one hour after patch removal with very slight to slight oedema at two treated skin sites at the 24-hour observation and very slight oedema at one treated skin site at the 48-hour observation.
One treated skin site appeared normal at the 72-hour observation and the remaining two treated skin sites appeared normal at the 7-day observation.
1 hour exposure:
Very slight erythema was noted at the treated skin site at the 24 and 48-hour observations.
The treated skin site appeared normal at the 72-hour observation.
3 minutes exposure:
No evidence of skin irritation was noted during the study. - Other effects:
- None
- Interpretation of results:
- not irritating
- Remarks:
- Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
- Conclusions:
- The test material is not considered to be irritating to the skin of rabbits.
- Executive summary:
A study was performed to assess the irritancy potential of the test material to the skin of the New Zealand White rabbit. Three female rabbits were used. The test material was moisted with distilled water prior to application to the clipped flank of the rabbits.
Irritation was scored according to the method of Draize (1977). A semi-occlusive dressing was used. The study was performed in accordance with the OECD 404 and EU Method B.4 guidelines.
A single 4-hour, semi-occluded application of the test material to the intact skin of three rabbits produced very slight to well-defined erythema and very slight to slight oedema. One treated skin site appeared normal at the 72-hour observation and the remaining two treated skin sites appeared normal at the 7-day observation. 3-minute and 1-hour semi-occluded applications of the test material to the intact skin of one rabbit produced no corrosive effects.
The test material is therefore not considered to be irritating to the skin of rabbits.

- ADIMINSTRATION OF TEST SUBSTANCE
Immediately before the start of the test, both eyes of the provisionally selected test rabbits were examined for evidence of ocular irritation or defect with the aid of a light source from a standard ophthalmoscope. Only animals free of ocular damage were used.
Initially, a single rabbit was treated. A volume of 0.1 mL of the test material, which was found to weigh approximately 72 mg (as measured by gently compacting the required volume into an adapted syringe) was placed into the conjunctival sac of the right eye, formed by gently pulling the lower lid away from the eyeball. The upper and lower eyelids were held together for about one second immediately after treatment, to prevent loss of the test material, and then released. The left eye remained untreated and was used for control purposes. Immediately after administration of the test material, an assessment of the initial pain reaction was made.
After consideration of the ocular responses produced in the first treated animal, two additional animals were treated.
SCORING SYSTEM: Draize JH (1977) "Dermal and Eye Toxicity Tests" In: Principles and Procedures for Evaluating the Toxicity of Household Substances, National Academy of Sciences, Washington DC p.48 to 49). See Table 1.
Immediately after administration of the test material, an assessment of the initial pain reaction was made according to the six point scale shown in Table 2.

Additional information
SKIN
A study was performed to assess the irritancy potential of the test material to the skin of the New Zealand White rabbit. Three female rabbits were used. The test material was moistened with distilled water prior to application to the clipped flank of the rabbits.
Irritation was scored according to the method of Draize (1977). A semi-occlusive dressing was used. The study was performed in accordance with the OECD 404 and EU Method B.4 guidelines.
A single 4-hour, semi-occluded application of the test material to the intact skin of three rabbits produced very slight to well-defined erythema and very slight to slight oedema. One treated skin site appeared normal at the 72-hour observation and the remaining two treated skin sites appeared normal at the 7-day observation. 3-minute and 1-hour semi-occluded applications of the test material to the intact skin of one rabbit produced no corrosive effects.
The test material is therefore not considered to be irritating to the skin of rabbits.

The test material is therefore not considered to be irritating to the eyes of rabbits.
