Irritant / corrosive response data:
Well defined erythema was noted in 1 animal at the 45 minute point while the other animals had very slight erythema. Erythema increased after the 45 minute interval. Five animals were noted with well-defined erythema at the 24 and 48 hour intervals. At the 72 hour interval, all animals were noted with well-defined erythema. Erythema increased again at the Day 7 interval; two animals were noted with severe erythema and four animals were noted with well-defined erythema.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 2 (irritant) based on GHS criteria
Remarks:
Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
While the quantitative threshold for mean erythema and/or edema at 24, 48, and 72 hours were not met, skin irritation was not completely reversible by the end of the observation period.
Executive summary:

Topical application of isooctanol produced only signs of mild irritation in the rabbit following a 4 hour semi-occluded dermal patch exposure. Dermal observations were conducted 45 minutes, 24, 48 and 72 hours and 7 days after exposure. All animals survived the exposure.  Well defined erythema was noted in 1 animal at the 45 minute point while the other animals had very slight erythema. Erythema increased after the 45 minute interval. Five animals were noted with well-defined erythema at the 24 and 48 hour intervals. At the 72 hour interval, all animals were noted with well-defined erythema. Erythema increased again at the Day 7 interval; two animals were noted with severe erythema and four animals were noted with well-defined erythema. The mean skin irritation scores between 24 and 72 hours were: erythema 1.89 and edema 1.22.
