Test animals

Species:
rabbit
Strain:
New Zealand White
Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
TEST ANIMALS
- Source: Animals for this study were selected from a stock supply of healthy adult rabbits of the New Zealand White strain.
- Age at study initiation: 38 weeks
- Weight at study initiation: 3.91 to 4.43 kg
- Housing: The rabbits were housed individually in plastic cages with perforated floors.
- Diet (e.g. ad libitum): 125 g of a standard laboratory rabbit diet per day
- Water (e.g. ad libitum):Drinking water was provided ad libitum.
- Acclimation period:All rabbits were acclimatised to the experimental environment for a period of 21 weeks prior to the start of the study.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 16 to 20°C
- Humidity (%): 40 to 70%
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light):Lighting was controlled by means of a time switch to give 12 hours of artificial light (06:00 to 18:00 GMT) in each 24 hour period.

Test system

Type of coverage:
semiocclusive
Preparation of test site:
clipped
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
yes
Amount / concentration applied:
Approximately 0.5 mL of the test substance was applied under a 2-ply 25 mm x 25 mm porous gauze pad secured with ‘blenderm’ surgical tape to intact skin sites on three animals.
Duration of treatment / exposure:
Three minutes, one and four hours
Observation period:
1, 24, 48 and 72 hours later.
Number of animals:
3
Details on study design:
TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: Dorso-lumbar region of each rabbit
- % coverage: 25 mm x 25 mm
- Type of wrap if used: porous gauze pad secured with ‘blenderm’ surgical tape to intact skin sites on three animals.

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): At the end of the exposure period the semi-occlusive dressing and gauze pad were removed and the treatment site was washed with lukewarm water (30-40°C) to remove any residual test substance. The treated area was blotted dry with absorbent paper.
- Time after start of exposure: 72 hours

OBSERVATION TIME POINTS (hours): 1, 24, 48 and 72

SCORING SYSTEM:
- Method of calculation: A primary irritation index (PII) was calculated from the erythema and oedema scores.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
There was no sign of toxicity or ill health in any rabbit during the observation period. No dermal reaction was observed in any animal throughout the duration of the study.
Executive summary:

The Primary Irritation Index was calculated to be 0.0; AO-26 was classified as ‘non-irritant’ according to the criteria of the ECETOC and did not require labelling in accordance with Commission Regulation 1272/2008.
