- Irritant / corrosive response data:
- After exposure to the test item for 4 hours, and 30 to 60 minutes after removal of the patch there was found to be erythema of the skin which was very slight in two animals and well-defined in one animal. Two animals showed slight oedema, and one animal showed very slight oedema.
After 24 hours, erythema was well-defined in two animals and still very slight in one animal. Oedema was very slight to moderate. After 48 and 72 hours, all the animals had well-defined erythema and slight oedema.
After 7 days, all the animals showed very slight erythema and oedema. After 9 days, the skin of one animal still showed very slight erythema and oedema.
After 13 days, all the animals were free of signs of skin irritation in the area of application. Accordingly, test item is not a skin irritant. - Other effects:
- - Other adverse local effects: After 7 and 9 days, all the animals were scaling and the skin surface showed detachment.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- other: EU GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- The study was performed according to the OECD TG404 without deviations and therefore considered to be of the highest quality (reliability Klimisch 1). The validity criteria of the test system are fulfilled. The test material produced an average irritation index of 1.89 for erythema and eschar formation and an average irritation index of 2.0. for oedema formation 24, 48 and 72 hours after the end of exposure. After 13 days, all the animals were free of signs of irritation. Therefore, the test material was classified as non-irritant to rabbit skin according to the Draize classification scheme. No corrosive effects were noted.
- Executive summary:
A study was performed to assess the irritancy potential of the test material Trimethyl orthoacetate (TMOA) to the skin of small white russian rabbits. The method used followed the recommendations of the OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals No. 404 "Acute Dermal Irritation/Corrosion" (adopted 17 July 1992) and Method B4 of Commission Directive 92/69/EEC (which constitutes Annex V of Council Directive 67/548/EEC). The test was carried out by exposing three animals to the substance for 4 hours. The test showed that dermal application of the liquid test substance with a semiocclusive dressing resulted in well-defined erythema in two animals, and very slight erythema in one animal, after 24 hours. At this time, the animals showed very slight to moderate oedema. After 48 and 72 hours, all the animals were found to have well-defined erythema and slight oedema. After 7 days, all the animals showed very slight erythema and very slight oedema, together with scaling. After 9 days, one animal still showed very slight erythema and very slight oedema. All the animals still showed scaling. After 13 days, all the animals were free of signs of irritation.
The following averages were calculated from the numerically scored individual findings based on inspection 24, 48 and 72 hours after the end of exposure:
Exposure time 4 hours
Animal 1
Animal 2
Animal 3

2.00

2.00
Since the test material produced a primary irritation index of 0.0 for erythema and oedema formation after 13 days, it was classified as non-irritant to rabbit skin according to the Draize classification scheme. No corrosive effects were noted. Thus, the test material did not meet the criteria for classification as irritant or corrosive according to EU labelling regulations. No symbol and risk phrase are required.
