Number of animals:

3 animals

Details on study design:

On the day before the test each rabbit was clipped free of fur from the dorsal flank area using veterinary clippers. Only animals with a healthy intact
epidermis by gross observation were selected for the study.

On the day of the test a suitable test site was selected on the back of each rabbit. A quantity of 0.5 ml of the test material was introduced under a 2.5 cm
x 2.5 cm cotton gauze patch and placed in position on the shorn skin. The patch was secured in position with a strip of surgical adhesive tape
(BLENDERM: approximate size 2.5 cm x 4.0 cm). To prevent the animals interfering with the patches, the trunk of each rabbit was wrapped in an
elasticated corset (TUBIGRIP) and the animals were returned to their cages for the duration of the exposure period.

Four hours after application the corset and patches were removed from each animal and any residual test material removed by gentle swabbing with cotton wool soaked in distilled water.

Approximately one hour following the removal of the patches, and 24, 48 and 72 hours later, the test sites were examined for evidence of primary irritation
and scored according to the following scale from Draize J.H., (1977) "Dermal and Eye Toxicity Tests" In: Principles and Procedures for Evaluating the
Toxicity of Household Substances, National Academy of Sciences, Washington D.C. p.31.

Irritant / corrosive response data:

A single 4-hour, semi-occluded application of the test material to the intact skin of three rabbits produced reactions indicative of dermal corrosion at one treated skin site. The reactions included moderate to severe erythema, severe oedema and scabbing, Well-defined erythema, moderate oedema and crust formation were noted at the two remaining treated skin sites. Glossy skin and/or reduced regrowth of fur were noted at these two treated skin sites at the 14-day observation

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

corrosive

Remarks:

Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU

Conclusions:

The test material, BEROLAMINE 20 was classified as CORROSIVE to rabbit skin. Corrosive effects were noted in one animal.

The test material classified as CORROSIVE to rabbit skin according to the EU labelling regulations. The symbol "C" and risk phrase R 34 "CAUSES BURNS" are therefore required.

Only results from a 4h application is available. The EU classification scheme in place when this study was completed, has now been replaced with Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 on the classification and packaging of substances and mixtures. (CLP/GHs). Based on the results following the Substance should be classified as at least Corrosive Cat 1C.

Executive summary:

A study was performed to assess the irritancy potential of the test material to the skin of the New Zealand White rabbit. 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 results may be used as a basis for classification and labelling under Annex VI of Council Directive 67/548/EEC (as adapted to technical progress by Commission Directive 93/21/EEC) relating to the classification, packaging and labelling of dangerous substances.

2. A single 4-hour, semi-occluded application of the test material to the intact skin of three rabbits produced reactions indicative of dermal corrosion at one treated skin site. The reactions included moderate to severe erythema, severe oedema and scabbing, Well-defined erythema, moderate oedema and crust formation were noted at the two remaining treated skin sites. Glossy skin and/or reduced regrowth of fur were noted

at these two treated skin sites at the 14-day observation.

3. The test material was classified as corrosive to rabbit skin. Corrosive effects were noted in one animal.

The test material was also classified as corrosive according to EU labelling regulations.

The symbol "C" and risk phrase R 34 "CAUSES BURNS" are therefore required.

The EU classification scheme in place when this study was completed, has now been replaced with Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 on the classification and packaging of substances and mixtures. (CLP/GHs). Based on the results following the  Substance should be classified as at least Corrosive Cat 1C.
