TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 0.5 g of the test item was applied per animal.

VEHICLE
Name: liquid paraffin
Manufacturer:Merck KGaA, Darmstadt
Batch: K36930874 711
Released until:December 31, 2011



Duration of treatment / exposure:
4 hours
Observation period:
8 days
Number of animals:

Details on study design:
TEST SITE
0.5 g of the test material was spread onto a patch of about 6 cm². The patch was fastened to the left side of the animal’s back and kept in place by a self adhesive fabric (Fixomull® stretch, Beiersdorf).


REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Method: wiped off
- Time after start of exposure: 4 hours

OBSERVATION TIME POINTS
Local irritations or any clinical systematic alteration were evaluated immediately after patch removal, then 60 minutes, 24 hours, 48 hours and 72 hours thereafter according to Draize (Draize, 1959) and recorded individually for each animal on a record sheet. A daily evaluation was continued up to study day 8.

SCORING SYSTEM:
- Method of calculation: according OECD 404

Objective

The objective of the present study was to investigate the primary skin irritating potential of the test item in rabbits.

Study design

The test material was mixed with some drops of liquid paraffin to ensure good contact with the skin. Afterwards, the test material was spread onto patches and applied to the intact skin of previously shaven rabbits for 4 hours under semi-occlusive conditions. The study was performed initially with one animal and followed by the confirmatory test with two further animals. The first examination of the treated skin followed 1 hour after patch removal. Thereafter, examinations were performed daily for a further 7 days.

Results

No mortality occurred during the experimental phase of the study.

The body weight development of the treated rabbits was inconspicuous.

No clinical symptoms and no signs of skin irritation were observed.

Conclusions

Based on the results of this study, no skin irritating potential was detected for the test material.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
