Test animals

Species:
rabbit
Strain:
New Zealand White
Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
males (no further data)

Test system

Type of coverage:
semiocclusive
Preparation of test site:
other: clipped
Vehicle:
water
Controls:
other: adjacent areas of untreated skin served as control in each animal
Amount / concentration applied:
500 mg/animal
Duration of treatment / exposure:
4 hours
Observation period:
7 days after removing the test substance
Number of animals:
3 males
Details on study design:
an aliquot of 0.5 g of the moistened test substance was applied to the clipped back skin of each animal. The patch was removed 4 hours after semi-occlusive contact and the skin was cleaned using water and ethanol. The skin reactions were assessed at approximately 1, 24,48 and 72 hours(all animals) and 7 days (2/3 animals) after removal of the dressings and test substance. Adjacent areas of untreated skin served as control in each animal.

Results and discussion

In vivo

Irritant / corrosive response data:
In 1 animal, slight (24 hours) to well-defined (48, 72 hours) erythema, slight (1, 24 hours) to very slight (48 hours) oedema and scaling (7 days) was observed after dressing removal
No erythema, oedema or scaling were recorded in 2/3 animals.
Other effects:
Yellow staining of the treated skin area was noted 1-72 hours after removal of the test substance

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
slightly irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information
Executive summary:

1,5 -Dihydroxynaphthalene was tested for skin irritation according to OECD TG 404 using male New Zealand White rabbits. Under the conditions of the study, the test substance caused some irritation to rabbit skin, but - according to the authors - did not fulfil the EU criteria for classification.
