TEST ANIMALS
- Source: Harlan Winkelmann
- Age at study initiation:
- Weight at study initiation: 2.97, 3.09, 3.26 kg
- Housing: The rabbits have been housed individually in a battery of cages with a cage size 100 x 45 x 40 cm (L x B x H), equipped with a paper disposal system.
- Diet (e.g. ad libitum): Teklad Global Rabbit Diet (pelleted diet, batch no. K088). Offered ad libitum.
- Water (e.g. ad libitum): Tap water as for human consumption was continuously available ad libitum via drinking nipples.
- Acclimation period: The animals were acclimatised to the laboratory for more than 5 days. Animals were housed at the testing facility for 20 days or several months.


ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 20 +/- degrees centigrade
- Humidity (%): 44-72%
- Air changes (per hr): Air was changed about 16 times per hour and filtered adequately.
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light):12 hrs dark/12 hrs light with light on at 7:00 AM

Test system

Type of coverage:

semiocclusive

Preparation of test site:

other: The skin of the back of all animals was clipped 24 hours before treatment and examined for potential lesions.

Vehicle:

unchanged (no vehicle)

Controls:

other: The untreated left side of the back served as control.

Amount / concentration applied:

0.5 g

Duration of treatment / exposure:

4 hours

Observation period:

24, 48, and 72 hours after the exposure period.

Number of animals:

Three male rabbits

Details on study design:

TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: The right side of the back of the rabbit.
- % coverage:
- Type of wrap if used: The test article was applied to a gauze patch and then applied to the skin. To ensure good contact with the skin, 2-3 drops of peanut oil were used. The closed patch exposure was effected by means of a semi-occlusive bandage using Ypsiplast , nonirritating tape Elastoplast and Stulpa, which enveloped the whole of the animal's trunk.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

not irritating

Remarks:

Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: other: OECD 404

Conclusions:

The test article was classified on the basis of the mean values of skin reactions 24,48, and 72 hours after the end of the 4-hour exposure according to the criteria specified by the EEDC Directive 2001/59/EEC of 6 August 2001 and the Gefahrstoffverordnung (GefStoffV) of 15 November 1999
(BGB1.I, p.2233). When applied to the skin, the test article is classified as "non-irritant".

Executive summary:

The potential toxicity of "PEBETAL dibasic lead phthalate" was assessed in an acute dermal irritation/corrosion test on three albino rabbits. In each animal, 0.5 g of the solid test article was applied on the right side of the dorsal clipped region, the untreated ledt side served as control. Exposure duration was 4 hours. Both sides were examined at 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after the end of exposure.

The following results were obtained:

-No signs of erythema and oedema were observed.

-No general toxic effects were seen.

-The mean grades at 24, 48 and 72 hours after the end of exposure were "0" in each animal.

The test article was classified on the basis of the mean values of skin reactions 24, 48 and 72 hours after the end of the 4 -hour exposure according to the criteria specified by the EEC Directive 2001/59/EEC of 6 August 2001 and the Gefahrstoffverordnung (GefDtoffV) of 15 November 1999 (BGB1.I, p.2233). When applied to the skin, the test article "PEBETAL dibasic lead phthalate" may therefore be classified as "non-irritant".
