- Water (e.g. ad libitum): ad libitum
- Acclimation period: at least 5 days

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 16-22ºC
- Humidity (%): 30-70%
- Air changes (per hr): Not reported
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): approximate 12-hour light/dark cycle

shaved

Vehicle:

unchanged (no vehicle)

Controls:

no

Amount / concentration applied:

TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 0.5 mL

Duration of treatment / exposure:

Approximately 4 hours.

Observation period:

Approximately 60 minutes after removal of the test patches, and approximately 24, 48, and 72 hours after removal of the patches.

Number of animals:

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

Under the conditions of this study, the test substance produced no dermal irritation when applied to the skin of rabbits.
In accordance with the provisions of Directive 67/548/EEC, classification is not required based on the results of this study.
According to the Globally Harmonized System (GHS) of classification and labeling of chemicals and under the conditions of this study, classification is not required.

Executive summary:

The test substance was applied as a single 0.5-mL dermal dose to the shaved intact skin of a single New Zealand White rabbit. Since no corrosion occurred, 2 additional rabbits were treated. The test substance was applied to a 6 cm² area of skin. The application area was covered with a 2-ply gauze square which was held in place with non-irritating tape and covered with porous tape for a semi-occlusive dressing. The rabbits exhibited no dermal irritation during the study. No clinical signs of toxicity were observed, and no body weight loss occurred. Under the conditions of this study, the test substance produced no dermal irritation when applied to the skin of rabbits.
