Remarks on result:

Irritant / corrosive response data:
Based on the slightness and the full recovery in the majority of test animals a full reversibility of effects within 2 weeks is expected for the remaining ones.

Similar score values were obtained for clipped scarified skin.

Single animals showed temporarily scaled or chapped skin. Two animals formed scab which was not fully reversible within the observation period of 72 h. These effects were not assigned to the intact or scarified skin by the author of the report, but are assumed to be most likely associated with the scarified skin.
Other effects:
no other effects reported

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
According to the test results the substance does not meet criteria for classification concerning skin cxorrosion/irritation as laid down in Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.

This conclusion is legitimated even though the applied testing regime differs from today's standard methods. Since the test conditions were more stringent than required by OECD TG 404 (i.e. 24 h treatment, occlusive coverage, and scarified skin instead of 4 h treatment, semi-occlusive coverage, and intact skin) the test results are considered adequate to fulfill endpoint requirements.
Executive summary:

The test material was tested for skin irritancy according to FDA guideline. Both intact and scarified skin sites of six rabbits were exposed to 0.5 g test substance mixe with 0.5 ml of 0.9% NaCl aqueous solution for 24 h under occlusive conditions and the skin responses were examined at 24, 48, and 72 h after beginning of treatment. Mean values of the 24, 48 and 72 h readings were calculated for each animal. Only slight effects (erythema mean score: <=1, edema mean score: <= 0.3) below the threshold for classification were determined for the intact skin. All effects were fully reversible or expected to be fully reversible. Similar results were obtained for scarified skin. Based on these findings the test material was judged not to be irritating or corrosive to skin.
