Endpoint:
skin irritation: in vivo
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
1978
Reliability:

Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: see 'Remark'
Remarks:
Study performed before test guidelines and GLP principles were in place. However missing information and shortcomings in description of the methods. Observation time was only 48 hours, observation time was not extended until effects were reversed. Test substance applied occlusively instead of semi-occlusive as current guideline recommends. No details on test substance (Lot/Batch number; purity).

Irritant / corrosive response data:
Very slight erythema was observed directly and 48 hours after removal of the bandage, no oedema was observed.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
In a dermal irritation study with 6 rabbits, minor erythema was seen. Based on this study the substance is not irritating according to CLP Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
Executive summary:

A dermal study with 6 rabbits was performed equivalently to current OECD guidelines. At 48 hrs. after removal of the substance, very slight erythema was observed in one rabbit. Since only minor effects were observed in only one of six animals, the substance is not irritating according to CLP Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
