Test system

Type of coverage:

semiocclusive

Preparation of test site:

clipped

Vehicle:

unchanged (no vehicle)

Controls:

not required

Amount / concentration applied:

TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit):500 mg

VEHICLE
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit):none

Duration of treatment / exposure:

4 hours

Observation period:

15 days

Number of animals:

3

Details on study design:

TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: A 30 x 20 mm area on the closely clipped dorsum.
- % coverage:100%
- Type of wrap if used: none

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): Lightly brushed clean of any solid residues and swabbed with moist cotton wool.
- Time after start of exposure: 4 hours

SCORING SYSTEM:
Erythema & eschar Grade
No erythema 0
Very slight erythema 1
Well-defined erythema 2
Moderate erythema 3
Severe erythema (beet redness) or eschar formation preventing reading of erythema 4

Oedema Grade
No oedema 0
Very slight oedema (barely perceptible) 1
Slight oedema (edges of area well-defined by definite raising) 2
Moderate oedema (edges raised approximately 1 mm) 3
Severe oedema (raised more than 1 mm and extending beyond the dermal test site) 4

The scores for erythema and oedema at the 24 and 72 hour readings were totalled for the three test rabbits (12 values) and this total was divided by six to give the primary irritation index of the test article.

Primary Irritation Index Classification of Irritancy

0 Non irritant
>0 to 2 Mild irritant
>2 to 5 Moderate irritant
>5 to 8 Severe irritant

Irritant / corrosive response data:

- Very slight erythema was noted at one treated skin site at 24 and 48 hours after patch removal. Well-defined erythema was noted at this site 72 hours after patch removal with very slight erythema and fissuring present on Day 8. No evidence of skin irritation was noted at this treated skin site on Day 15.

- No evidence of skin irritation was noted at the other two treated skin sites during the observation period.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

other: slightly irritating

Remarks:

Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: OECD GHS

Conclusions:

The test article produced a primary irritation index of 0.5 and was classified as a MILD IRRITANT to rabbit skin according to the Draize classification
scheme. The test article did not meet the criteria for classification as irritant or corrosive according to the Globally Harmonized System of
Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS).
